Hey guys:D So I'm a failure at turing and everything so I was hoping for a bit of help. I'm supposed to create a slideshow of some sort using turing right. And so I have done a menu page/table of contents page, whatever you wanna call it. I've put an A (then -name of topic), B (then name of topic),C (then name of topic) and so on. So for instance if my slideshow was on sports, A-could be hockey, B-could be basketball, C- rugby and yeah, you get the point:) Now I want it so that whichever alphabet the user types from A,B,C,D etc, the information within is displayed. I think I need like case statements or if statements for it. I have no idea what to do though. So for instance if the user clicks A, the information for hockey is displayed. I have pictures too and I don't know if case statements display the pictures and stuff. I think it only displays text. Please help someone:( |

You should have a procedure that displays stuff, and have the case statement call the procedure.
My syntax is off but you get the idea. |

Sure, no problem. What part do you still have trouble with? Can you get an example, such as the one Insectoid is talking about, to work and understand what is going on? |

Ok, if you want to do loads of stuff in one option of a case statement, you'll need to create a procedure to contain all that stuff within one of those options. Say that you choose hockey (represented by A in the case statement).
You can have pictures or anything you want inside that procedure that you call when using the case. |

I can't help but wonder if you even read any posts other than the first...You damn near copied my code snippet exactly. |

Well, im not the best at turing but what you could do is draw an A using the drawfont command, then use Mouse.Where (x,y,button) if x > (the the left coordinate of the A) and x < (the right coordinate of A) and y > the bottom coordinate of a) and y < (the top coordinate of A) and button = 1 then put "Hockey...." end if As for the when theyre typing it. You could just use getchar sooo itd be like this var a : char a := getchar if a = "a" or a = "A" then put "hockey" end if BTW, you have to loop BOTH of these |
