I want to create falling asteroids(circles), that appear randomly, looped. I have looked up how to create a random integer but i can't seem to be able to make it a variable and then use that variable when i draw a circle. I am not sure if i am thinking in the wrong direction. Does anyone know how i would do this? thanks =) |

create a random int between maxx and minx and assign it to the x coordinate create another random loop that with a ranmdom generator for a numbert between say 1 and 100 and if an int of i is greater than say 95 then randomly generate an asteroid at the random, x value given. if this helps then good if not tell me an i will type it out in more detail |

I tried that and it helped, (or maybe i didnt understand what u meant) but then i had some more problems. They started to just spam the screen I figured i needed to put them in arrays. This is what i have started to do, but to test it and the brackets keep giving errors. Ack im such a noob >_< View.Set ("graphics:800;600,offscreenonly") var xx, y : int var a : array 1 .. 800 of int loop xx:= Rand.Int (1, 800) y:= Rand.Int (1, 600) if y > 500 then for i : 1 .. upper(a) if y(i) <=775 then y(i) += 5 drawoval (xx , y , 8, 8, red) end if end for end loop Thanks for the help shadowman544 =) |

cls means Clear Screen. That means that everytime you loop around, you clear the screen and redraw everything. |
