Restart Program

Is there a way that I can restart the program in turing through a command???

If not then how can I reset the Time.Elapsed counter?

Why don't you just store the value of Time.Elapsed in a variable when you want to reset it, then subtract the next Time.Elapsed time from the offset?

How about you show a quick example?

Turing:
% Do something long and complicated here.
put "It's been " + Time.Elapsed + " since you started this."

var offset : real := Time.Elapsed

% Do something else equally as long and complicated here.
put "It's been " + (Time.Elapsed - offset) + " since I was \"reset\""
May or may not compile, I don't know Turing.

Fixed code:
Turing:
%Do something long and complicated here
put "It's been ", Time.Elapsed, " since you started this."

var offset : int := Time.Elapsed

%Do something equally as long and complicated here
put "It's been ", Time.Elapsed - offset, " since I was \"reset\""

With all the examples, none have reset the program. Shocked Burn

if you want to restarrt te program then sererate your program into a procedure and call it in a loop that does only that

Turing:
procedure game
    %game code here
end game

loop
    game
end loop

So is there no command in turing that simply exits the program and then starts it again? Confused

Using Procedures through loops simply gets the code in the procedure and keeps on looping it in the loop until you exit the loop somehow. It doesn't technically "exit" the actual program and then execute it again.

I tried Window.Open and Window.Close but that simply opens or closes the windows.

I'm such a noob at Turing.............. BooHoo

hmm try Sys.Exec at the end to reopen the same file (however it may need to be compiled)

sample:
Turing:
if not Sys.Exec(fileName) then
    put "The file code not be opened"
end if

You can try to have it execute itself with Sys.Exec and then exit upon success.

Edit: momop has beat me to it, with the same solution. Good job.

Why do you want to restart your program to begin with? If it comes to it, just have a "reset" procedure which sets all values of your variables back to default, as well as sets your Time.Elapsed offset to the current time.
