Basically, what I did in an IF statement to resemble a collision between 2 rectangles is:

code:
if yy1=yy12 or yy2=yy22 or xx1=xx12 or xx2=xx22 then


if this statement is true (meaning their coordinates touch), then the two rectangles have crashed into each other so I want a message appearing saying that the drivers suck and they crashed, and see if they want to try again and restart the program.

How do I do that - show msg to the user, and what is that called?

Thnx

You can try opening another Turing window using Window.Open ().

You could just use cls and Font.Draw, as your are restarting the program anyways.

(ps to restart the program just use a loop around all your code)

you could redirect them to an html site that you coded that says you sucks.
Using Net.OpenConnection (''site goes here''), i think that was the syntax...

Or if you are looking to make a popup window you can use View.Set ("popup")


"visible", "invisible", "popup" - Causes the active window to become visible (invisible or, for popup, invisible until input or output occurs in the window).

That isn't popup in that sense that your thinking. It simply doesn't appear until you draw something to it. It is quite clear though that a pop up window is not even necessary.
