I'm trying to make a verb that makes you type in the answer to a question.

If the person gets it wrong they go back to the same answer.
But if they get it right they get what ever the answer was.

Any suggestions?

Well this is what I started to make.Can anyone make it better?

mob
    proc
        summon()
            var/answer = input("What is your wish?") as text
            if("Power")
                src.power += 50
            if("power")
                src.power += 50
            if("POWER")
                src.power += 50
            if("KI")
                src.ki += 50
            if("ki")
                src.ki += 50
            if("Ki")
                src.ki+= 50
            else
                usr.summon()
    SSED/verb
        Summon_Shenron()
            usr.summon()

    power = 0
    ki = 0

    proc
        summon()
            var/answer = input("What is your wish?") as text
            // patch the reply
            answer = uppertext(answer)
            // all done
            switch(answer)
                if("POWER")
                     src.power += 50
                if("KI")
                     src.ki += 50
                else
                    src << "wooooo" // dont ask ^_^
                    spawn(1) summon()
    SSED/verb
        Summon_Shenron()
            usr.summon()

you could also use a alert if theres 3 or less answers
var/answer = alert(src,"What is your wish?","Shenron","Power","Ki","Dont wish")

you could change the input to a list
var/answer = input(src,"What is your wish?","Shenron") in list("Power","Ki","Not sure right now")
