----------------------------------- duelpoint Thu Jan 26, 2006 10:59 pm hey newby to turing Some of my work ----------------------------------- hey guys my first cs class in like 2 weeks i am in grade 10 and i thought i would get a head start cuz i 2 hard subjects nex sem so it would help me alot if u can see some of my work and see and point out my errors i did around 5 projects and heres the codes this is my latest one i was bored i think i should have used the loop but not sure var name : string var text2 : string var text : string put "Hello, whats your name ?" get name put "Hello ", name ,"do you like music? y/n" get text if text = "y" then put "Here's my music and tell me if its good? okay" play ("8fdyjasgf") play ("jgasdasfdjhdgasdkashgdjgasdgklkasfdgaskd") put "could you tell me if it was good or bad? by saying good/bad? i get confused when you use big words :P" get text2 if text2 = "good" then put "Thank you very much ", name," i am sure u are a good music composer too we should write a duet some time" end if if text2 = "bad" then put "well i bet you dont even know how to read music pshh what would a loser like you know about music" end if else put "I asked if my music is good or bad not if it was amazing or horrible... dont be a smarty pants and use big words" end if this was the first program i wrote :P ( was so happy) var name : string put "What is your name?" get name put "Hello ", name , "!" var age : string put "How old are you" get age put"I dont care how old you are ", name,"!" var Placewhereyoustudy : string put "Where do you study ", name,"." get Placewhereyoustudy put "A smarty pants eh well i dont care if your smarter than me ", name, " You cant be that smart because you are talking to a computer" this is one of the projetc i did in the middle oh for this one how come the view.set() didnt work? var x,y :int x := 100 y := 100 loop var chars : array char of boolean Input.KeyDown (chars) if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then y := y-5 end if if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then y := y+5 end if if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then x := x+5 end if if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then x := x-5 end if drawoval(x,y,10,10,green) drawfilloval(x,y,10,10,green) delay (5) cls end loop yup theres most of my projects the rest are pretty similar so if u guys can point out on my improvements that would be much appreciated :) ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Jan 26, 2006 11:07 pm ----------------------------------- two generic advices are to follow the Turing Walkthrough, and to see if you can make sence of all the [Turing Source Code] submissions :wink: ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu Jan 26, 2006 11:17 pm ----------------------------------- eventually youll learn to compress your code a bit, but i mean, if this is just the beginning for you then wat else can be expected right? i also agree w/ tony, check the walkthrough, and go to the tutorial forum here and check it out. this is an extremely helpful thread and is normally explained decently well for beginners ----------------------------------- duelpoint Fri Jan 27, 2006 3:51 pm ----------------------------------- thanks guys ----------------------------------- Rasta Fella Fri Jan 27, 2006 4:26 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, your code lines could get shorter...but it's your first time so that good then. ----------------------------------- duelpoint Sat Jan 28, 2006 12:36 pm ----------------------------------- thanks rasta ----------------------------------- skootles Sun Jan 29, 2006 12:14 am ----------------------------------- When I say I don't like music (obviously a lie, haha), it tells me not to use big words :( But those are pretty good for first tries 8-) ----------------------------------- bgmrk Sun Jan 29, 2006 12:41 am ----------------------------------- when i type my name.... nd it says hello, there is no space between the name and "do". ----------------------------------- duelpoint Sun Jan 29, 2006 10:23 am ----------------------------------- When I say I don't like music (obviously a lie, haha), it tells me not to use big words :( 8-) lol when i type my name.... nd it says hello, there is no space between the name and "do". Yea i forgot to put one between the " and the name... THanks on the comment guys ----------------------------------- duelpoint Sun Jan 29, 2006 10:34 am ----------------------------------- Umm hey guys i have a question i just didnt want to start a new thread soi thought i might post it here k any way i use 3d max photoshop and other programs and i make newby commercials in adobe premier for my tech class so could you insert any of these into turing ? like for example import 3d bats and ball and make 3d ping pong or volyball or brick ? many other games so if you can is it the same command as normal pictures? like hers one of my pic made in 3d max http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/duelpoint/Project01.jpg so i if i could i can make a maze game like zoom in and etc... ----------------------------------- Delos Sun Jan 29, 2006 11:17 am ----------------------------------- That's a nice picture you have there. And in answer to your questions, yes all of that is possible. Now don't get too excited. Turing is notorious for being utterly terrible at 3D-type graphics. Why? Because it involves such a huge amount of processing and, well, Turing can only do so much. I'm sure there are more technicaly reasons, but I neither know them nor would want to. I should really take my own advice sometimes. This is actually a great idea! Yeah, Ruby! ----------------------------------- duelpoint Sun Jan 29, 2006 9:49 pm ----------------------------------- thanks delos i will check it out but one thing it isnt running when i press run ? so how do i make it work? sorry for the newby question but like how do u run a hige game that has a diff rent engine like rpg games and this one thanks ----------------------------------- Delos Sun Jan 29, 2006 9:53 pm ----------------------------------- Uh, what are you trying to run...and with what? Please be a little more specifc. Contrary to popular belief, I'm only partly clairvoyent. As for your second question... :?: is about all I can say :D. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Jan 30, 2006 3:47 am ----------------------------------- It's not running when you press "run" because you have to tell the framework that zylum made to do something. You'll have to read up on Ha! So much for clairvoyency! ----------------------------------- duelpoint Mon Jan 30, 2006 7:31 am ----------------------------------- kk Thanks guys! Thanks anyways delos, but gandalf answered the question. I shoud be a little more specific :P from next time. ----------------------------------- MihaiG Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:26 am ----------------------------------- first of all.. zyums 3d engine models were made in blender(an awesome 3d software its open sourced) you need a special converter to convert different files to just the 3d points needed for the engine. make sure your model is made interily out of triangles....thats how it works from what i know ....u cna always pm zylum ] im currently working on an awesome blender project.. :twisted: ----------------------------------- duelpoint Mon Jan 30, 2006 2:34 pm ----------------------------------- Nice i heard blender is good I work on 3d max yea i know what you mean its polygons and have to ave les segments because turing cant cope with a tone of segments and i dont even have enough memory to run more the 5 segments (Dont know if segments is what it calls but thats what i call it till i can know what its called lol :P ) ----------------------------------- Mr. T Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:33 pm Alex's Opinion ----------------------------------- Zylum you mean. ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:09 pm ----------------------------------- read what he wrote... A fellow by the name of Catalyst also did some amazing work a while back. ----------------------------------- Delos Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:53 pm Re: Alex's Opinion ----------------------------------- Zylum you mean. And it's "zylum"...:D
