What is it you are trying to achieve?
Hey everyone im new in turing and im taking a grade 10 class on it. Me and my friend were making a game for one of our projects and we were wondering how do you put the score of our game in the title bar instead of the file name?; on the top of the window.

Thanks for your help Smile


What is the problem you are having?
Idk how to do

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Looked through Compsci.ca

You can change the title of a window by using :
Turing:

setscreen("title:desired title")


So say your score is stored in an integer variable you can set it as title using :
Turing:

setscreen("title:" + intstr(score))


But doing this you would have to change the windows title every time the score changed.

View.Set() is the function that has most of the control over the Turing Window. This includes the title text. It takes one parameter which is a string. So if your score is an integer, you'll have to convert it to a string.

intstr() converts an integer to a string.

View.Set("title:Lolz") will get Lolz in the window. View.Set("title:Score - "+intstr(score)) will output Score - 24 if score had the value 24.

Edit: Sad
