The last part of creating an application is to test the application, fix the bugs and set the properties for the final build. One of the main bugs is to fix to application crashing when a non-number is added to the program. Also, the application has a habit of refreshing too easily, thus, asking a new question when the active question has not been answered.
Once these problems have been fixed, the program properties can be set. The program’s properties can be set by using the Project Options dialog.

if (not FileExists('Sound/oops.wav')) then
SoundMissing := True;
