This was my first RB project. It all started when Alyce was having a problem with her MadLib program. I decided to take it on and found that the input statement was not functioning properly when "RUN"ed from another program. My solution was to replace INPUT with TEXTBOX for user input. It worked, but of course I got carried away and kept modifying the code and this was the result. I even added a tell a friend script at the end. Kudos to Alyce for the concept, I always thought MadLib was a cool little program. It was a fun beginner project, thanks Alyce!
