What is it you are trying to achieve?
DDR (dance dance revolution game), need to have an arrow move upwards


What is the problem you are having?
Have no idea how to make a picture of an arrow move upwards, i already can make an turing drawn arrow move upwards, but not an actual picture

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:


var x1, x2, x3 : int  %values for x co-ordinates
var y1, y2, y3 : int  %values for y co-ordinates

%declares all the co-ordinates so it is easier to modify

x1 := 100
x2 := 125
x3 := 125
y1 := 100
y2 := 115
y3 := 85

for i : 1..400
drawline (x1,y1, x2, y2, brightblue) % draws triangle
drawline (x2,y2, x3, y3, brightblue)
drawline (x1,y1, x3, y3, brightblue)
delay (3)
drawline (x1,y1, x2, y2, white) % erases triangle
drawline (x2,y2, x3, y3, white)
drawline (x1,y1, x3, y3, white)
y1 += 1
y2 += 1
y3 += 1
end for



Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Turing 4.1.1

They work the same way. You can apply the same technique to move where the image files are drawn just the same.

what i mean is that how do you replace the turing drawn triangle with the picture attached...

Use Pic.FileNew to load the image, and Pic.Draw to display it where you want.

ok... but what if the directory changes, because ill have to drop off the file later to another computer

Use a relative path as opposed to an absolute path. For example, <b>Pic.FileNew ("MyPicture.bmp")</b> as opposed to <b>Pic.FileNew (C:/MyPicture.bmp").</b>

Relative paths will add the current directory to the beginning of the path you specified. So if you have a picture called "MyPicture.bmp", and your program exists in the directory "C:/My Programs/Animation/" the overall path will become "C:/My Programs/Animation/MyPicture.bmp". Similarly if you copy your projects folder into a directory called "D:/Drop Off/" than the full path would become "D:/Drop Off/Animation/MyPicture.bmp".

um... ok, i did the relative directory, but it saids illegal pic ID

Turing:

var ddrArrow : int
var x1, y1 : int := 100

ddrArrow := Pic.FileNew ("GIF:ddrarrow")
for i : 0 .. maxy
    Pic.Draw (ddrArrow, x1, y1, picUnderMerge)
    delay (10)
    y1 := y1 + 10
end for
Pic.Free (ddrArrow)


anything wrong??? and the pic is in the same directory with the same name : ddrarrow.gif

I like to simply use:

Turing:
ddrArrow := Pic.FileNew ("ddrarrow.gif")

Instead of the alternate way of passing an image. Also depending on your version of Turing GIF images may not be supported (even though the documentation implies that they are).

have you tried loading it if it is in a .jpg or .bmp?

try to do that, if you open it up in paint, just save as a .jpg or .bmp and then try it. see if you still get that problem.

It appears to actually be a problem with the image. opening it in an editor and resaving fixed the problem, downloading as a different format didn't.

PROBLEM RESOLVED!!!! the original picture was corrupted... thank you all for helping me! My and my project partner hopefully would have a finished and working DDR game by the end of this week (i hope...)

um... bump, delete topic, question answered? (how do you delete your topic)

You don't. You leave it here so other people with the same problem might find it and fix it.

there is a question answered button in the little tool bar at the top right of your first post.
