how do they work? Can i make an animation a subprogram, so that i don't need the 300+ animation lines in my main program? PS- i checked the tutorials and there is nothing of that nature in there. Also i need help urgently am not currently in compsci class.

eh, sure... you could do that.

code:

procedure animate
put "animating...
end animate

...
%this is your main program
%you can always call your procedure whenever you need it

animate

Post subject:

eh... no... what you do in your separate file is have it like

code:

%this is file animation.t

procedure animation
put "animate"
end animation

now in your main file you place

code:

include animation.t

at the very top of the program so that the procedure will be included.

Edit: go easy on my spelling, pff

Post subject:

err.. you forgot the " " ".. the quotes basically.. it should be

code:

include "animation.t"

i put them in but when i try run it, the code of animation.t opens and procedure is highlighted and it says, "procedures may only be declared at the program, module, or monitor level"

procedures cannot be called from a different file, you can either call it in the animation.t or not use that file and copy and paste that code to the top of your other file..........

why don't you make a module on your other file, and export the procedure

interesting rank i haven't ever had to use include or anything but I'll make a suggestion: make sure your two turing files are in the same directory. Cheers
