I'm starting a major project in Turing and i need some help. Is it possible draw something, like something made up of various colours, lines, shapes, and animations, group it all together and then move it as a whole thing rather than individualy? I've tried messing around with drawpic, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas? Thx in advance. |

sure, you could, use procedures, it's pretty easy to understand. Example: draw a stick man, and instead of the standard
for it's head, do something like this:
where x, y are integers. Stick bunch of these draw commands into one procedure, ( I suggest you read up on procedures first, there is an excellent tutorial in the tutorial section) and have x, y as the parameters of the procedure. Then in a loop, just change the parameters. |

Yes. A good idea is to give every object a set of x,y coordinates and then draw everything on the object with respect to that point. ie
Imagine a scene with a rocket flying around a smiley face. It would be easier to specify a the draw coordinates with respect to some point on the rocket (the middle, for example) and then go through a loop changing the value of the x and y. I'm almost certain that there is a tutorial on animation though. EDIT: Hmm... Asian posted less than a minute before me precious time wasted that he could have been using to build my DDR pad. tsk. |

Wait, one more quick question. Let's say I procedured a stick guy walking on one spot, basically his feet are moving. How would i call upon that procedure but in a different location, that I set to outside the walking guy loop?? |
