Given you're using e.g.

PlaySound("correct.wav",NULL,SND_ASYNC);

You just need to add a member to your Question class which knows the right filename for the sound you need. Or you could use the right anwer plus .wav if you create UFO.wav, Drone.wav, Aeroplane.wav, and Rocket.wav.

And extend Question::askQuestion() as required.

PS Have you come across arrays yet?
Thank you for your reply.

But how can i create the ufo.wav and etc .wav to be using as a question?

Is this suppose to be added?

{
		static const char* soundfilenames[] = { "aeroplane.wav", "tiger.wav" };

		PlaySound( soundfilenames[sound], NULL, SND_FILENAME|SND_ASYNC );
	}

But how can i create the ufo.wav and etc .wav

Well...

You could record the sound of a UFO? :-)
Or lift the sound from a video or something?
Or create you own sound effect?

Or google for one (from a free site)

googling "free wave files ufo.wav" -> http://ufoseries.com/soundEffects/ufoFlying.mp3

(this one I remember from watching the series UFO as a boy:
http://ufoseries.com/ )

Is this suppose to be added?

Something along those lines.
