so just draw the car instead of that circle... you have the proper X/Y coordinates

supposing that you had a picture called car.jpg stored in the same folder as your program:

code:
var picID: int
picID := Pic.FileNew("car.jpg")
Pic.Draw(picID,0,0,picCopy)


this draws the picture with the bottom left corner at (0,0)

well if you don't want a picture of a car what I suggest you do is to draw it in turing and then use Pic.New to convert your image into a picture, which makes it a lot simpler to move around the screen.

for flashing, put the following at the beginning of your code (after your vars I guess)

code:

View.Set ("offscreenonly")


when you draw an object with turing, it won't go right to the screen now, it stores everything you draw in a buffer. You can load the buffer onto the screen by calling

View.Update

that helps with flickering


As well, when drawing the car with shapes, the trick is to know where all the shapes are in relativity to your x and y variables. It helps me sometimes to draw out stuff like this (make a dot for x and y, and then see where the other objects are relative to the x,y position)

i dont care about the flashing..i need help making a background into this

Post subject: 
u gonna be more specific, what do you mean by saying "making a background into this"? do you want to put a background in ur program or what?

Post subject: 
yes i do want to put a background into this
Author:  myob [ Mon Nov 08, 2004 10:16 pm ]
Post subject: 
as i recall there is no background picture commands, just draw a picture that is at the back of the screen and draw everything else on top of it

ok..so where would i put it??? Question Question

code:
var picID: int       
        picID := Pic.FileNew ("mypic.bmp")
            Pic.Draw (picID, 0, 0, picUnderMerge)
       


so lets say ur picture is called "mypic.bmp", u declare it like that and put it at (0,0) so its at bottom left corner. you should setup the screen and/or the picture so they match each other.

ok..i did that and it didnt work..it said it was an "illeagal picture id"
Author:  HyperFlexed [ Tue Nov 09, 2004 6:12 pm ]

why don't you use rectangles and stuff to draw your image? That's be more pro. Write a procedure to draw a road with a width and number of lanes that you declacre in the procedure.

i'm not sure if i completely understand but as i understand u just want to make a background on your whole screen. you could use the command colourback and the colour in brackets.

code:

colourback (7)


then if u want to make it look like a road you could draw a huge grey rectangle and draw little yellow rectangles in the big grey rectangle to make it look like a road. good luck
