Also, i have another question... If i make a game, can other people without Turing play it? And thats about it, Oh one more... How do i make a super easy web site which is actually accessable, so i can put my games on, for others to try? or do they have to download it? must they need turing?? are there ways around it?? Thanks!

Um, also to the above.... Im trying to get a users input on 2 numbers, num1 and num2, and then i want the user to pick either * / - + , and then i want to do the equation with the users information.... Thanks! please help fast, i read posts with bad titles like mine get deleted!!!

hey, welcome to the site Smile

first of all - use [ syntax="language" ]code here[ /syntax ] tags. In your case language is turing.

I'm not sure what's the error is, I haven't tried it out. It might be that you're assigning a division result (a real value) to an integer. Ether way, you don't even need that "answer" variable.

Turing:

put num1, " / ", num2, " = ", num1 / num2

Now to answer some of your other questions.

>If i make a game, can other people without Turing play it?

Yes, if you compile your program.

>How do i make a super easy web site which is actually accessable, so i can put my games on, for others to try?

We'll host your projects here Smile

Just post in [Turing Source Code] or [Turing Applications]

Turing:

Verified.
If you really want to store the answer into a variable, either make the variable real (not int) or use the round function, like this:

Turing:

answer := round (num1 / num2)

One final way is to use div (check the help file), but that's not as good as round beacause it will always round down. That is, 2.7 rounds down to 2. div is just easier to type. Razz

Here is the same code in half the lines

code:

var nums : array 1 .. 2 of int
var count, answer := 1
var ans1, operator : string

loop
put skip, "Please enter a number: "
get nums (count)
put skip, "Are you sure you want to use num?"
get ans1
if ans1 = "yes" then
count += 1
end if
if count > 2 then
put skip, "Enter an operator:"
get operator
put skip, "Are you sure you want to use op?"
get ans1
if ans1 = "yes" then
exit
end if
end if
end loop

if operator = "+" then
answer := nums (1) + nums (2)
elsif operator = "-" then
answer := nums (1) - nums (2)
elsif operator = "*" then
answer := nums (1) * nums (2)
elsif operator = "/" then
answer := nums (1) div nums (2)
end if

put skip, nums (1), " ", operator, " ", nums (2), " ", "=", " ", answer

i dont understand your code, Also can you explain how arrays work, and if i wanted to create a moving ball I find this interesting, but have no teacher... i want to make a snake game, how do i make graphics... i was just going to creat it pac man style... Anyways, your code, "put skip, "Please enter a number: " " whats skip do??? ive never seen this befor...

For such a tremendous multitude of questions, there is only one answer. Check out the Turing Walkthrough. As for skip: open Turing; type "skip", press F9; read. It should be pretty understandable. tokenherbz wrote: I find this interesting, but have no teacher... Compsci teachers don't usually do very much anyways. We do more. No offense meant, but creating a snake game is way beyond your current level. If you want, check out some source code to a snake game or two. There's probably lots of syntax you've never seen before, let alone understand. If you really want to make one though, work your way through the Turing Walkthrough.

I would suggest you start by looking through the Tutorials section. Specifically, Cervantes Walkthrough. This will explain to you all the details of Mystic's code. For a start, while you have Turing open (this is called your IDE) press F10. A help screen should pop up. This contains all the commands and syntax in the Turing language (this is called an API). You can get a technial definition of them in here. Of course, you'll be better off in the Tutorials since they explain things from a practical and understandable point.
