If by for loops you mean for loops inside of a main loop, that's bad. What you want to do is have a bunch of pictures that you can flip through. Each time through the main loop (or you could have it based on time), add one to the counter (and if the counter is more than the max number of pictures, set it back to one). Draw the picture associated with that counter number. |

by "for loops" he means counting loops |

That's why u add the "counter" variable that increases by 1 each time the loop runs. |

well i figured the normal loops out already quite a while ago... but i was owondering if turing has functions that can do animations without loops since it cant load gif files... is there a way? |

Turing 4.0.x can't, as far as I know. Perhaps sprites from pre-Turing 4 could do it; I don't know, I've never used them. Perhaps DanSprite could do it, but again, I don't really know. 
There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to use loops for your animation. Why don't you want to? |

There was a whole discussion on how Holt Soft didn't buy the license to use some pictures. |

Nope. And the tutorial on the subject does not explain how to use .gif images in turing (because it can't be done) it merely explains how to do animation. And, for that matter, it uses a loop. basketball4ever wrote: person wrote: i know its 2005 but it still doesnt work then a question for you: then y did you even post that last message??? you should really think before you post So should you. There's no need to go harassing members. This is not the first time. |

i think u just loop it and put x = x+2 and exit when x gets to a certain point but its still in a loop just not a counting loop. |

Why would you use a counter in a loop rather than using a for loop? o.o; (sorry just reffering to something somebody said early in this topic =/) |

Because sometimes you might want to have 2 counters or 3 or 4... If you used 2 for loops, only 1 can execute at a time. |

yeh using a loop counter u can animate more than 1 thing at a time... and more efficently. I've decided to just use the loop counter, thanks ya'll. |
