H E L P with creating border(s)

-----------------------------------

Hi guys,

I just wanted to know if i could obtain some help with creating a border or boxes around the shole screen. I want to try to ask for help and see if anyone should respond =D Anyways, i would like it to be 51 pixel [oh yeah, i'm using pixel graphics] so 51 pixels from the bottom up, the right side out, left side out, and top side down. ~(fifty-one pixels)~

Bump?  You bumped it up after a single minute of waiting.  CompSci.ca is not that active.

Of course someone will respond.  :)

The easiest way to do this would be to clear the screen to the colour you want your border to be, then draw a white box in the middle of the screen.  Or not white; make it whatever colour you want your main background to be.

colourback (blue)
cls
Draw.FillBox (50, 50, maxx - 50, maxy - 50, white)


Alternatively, you could draw four boxes.  One on each side of the screen.

Draw.ThickBox
There is if you search for the "Upgrading Turing" or "New commands for Turing" topics :).

Ooh...  Think it would be great if everyone centered their posts? hehe

The best way to make a border is to use the drawbox command. create 1 around the outside of the screen and then a box 1 pixel inside that. This creates a good affect to the program.
