----------------------------------- xtremehacker Thu Sep 07, 2006 1:54 pm Age of Empires IV ----------------------------------- Im making a new Age of Empires and having some trouble with the code if anyone here is really good with turing code and might be able to help out it would be helpfull thanks ----------------------------------- ericfourfour Thu Sep 07, 2006 2:15 pm ----------------------------------- Since I don't exactly know what your problem is and you didn't post any code that you were having trouble with, I will just give you a few links. You should read over [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=19]Welcome to Turing Help; Important Info & Tutorial Links and the [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=8808]The Turing Walkthrough - Beginning to End. Most (if not all) of your questions will be answered in these threads. I would also recommend using search because I never needed to ask for help in Turing because all the information was already there. ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu Sep 07, 2006 2:38 pm ----------------------------------- how long have you been programming? if your new, and this is for your gr.10 compsci class, you could probably drop it for now, and work on something smaller (not to say you cant pick it up later!) Age of Empires is a big game with some complex features and its own unique problems to encounter, if you still feel that you can do this at this point is strongly suggest you check out [url=http://compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=10904]classes. ----------------------------------- xtremehacker Thu Sep 07, 2006 4:07 pm ----------------------------------- I have been programming for about four years now so i know my way around turing pretty good but i dont know everything. I will post the code that im having problems with and no im not in school anymore. ----------------------------------- xtremehacker Thu Sep 07, 2006 4:35 pm ----------------------------------- I know im not supposed to really ask questions in a post or w.e but does anyone know if it is posible to put scrolling text in a turing run window??? ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu Sep 07, 2006 4:54 pm ----------------------------------- well what exactly do you mean by scrolling text? do you mean can you have text going across the screen, down the screen? if thats what you mean the answer to either of these questions is yes, look into the Font. commands and see if you can't come up with something, if you can't get it post back here with the code you've tried ----------------------------------- xtremehacker Thu Sep 07, 2006 5:22 pm ----------------------------------- Ive got like an intro/instruction page to display the key controlls and i want the text to scroll slowly up the page i cant figure out how to do this. ----------------------------------- neufelni Thu Sep 07, 2006 7:19 pm ----------------------------------- For four years of programming experience it doesn't like you know to much. Anyway, here's the code: View.Set("offscreenonly") var font : int := Font.New("Arial:20:bold") var y : int := 10 loop Font.Draw("Text", 100, y, font, 7) View.Update y += 1 delay(10) cls exit when y = maxy end loop ----------------------------------- xtremehacker Thu Sep 07, 2006 9:33 pm ----------------------------------- Im better with others kinds of programming I am kinda new with turing anyway thanks man for this code it will be a big help. ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Thu Sep 07, 2006 9:44 pm ----------------------------------- that is the basics of any programming, problem solving, and math. ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Thu Sep 07, 2006 9:45 pm ----------------------------------- I hate that there is no edit ability, anyways: You wrote: "I am kinda new with turing" Why then, are you trying to creat a program of this magnitude. ----------------------------------- xtremehacker Fri Sep 08, 2006 7:22 am ----------------------------------- I dont know it will be a complicated program to make with turing but I am up for the challenge. If you want you can help out with the code it don't matter. ----------------------------------- do_pete Fri Sep 08, 2006 8:19 am ----------------------------------- Ive got like an intro/instruction page to display the key controlls and i want the text to scroll slowly up the page i cant figure out how to do this. You could also use GUI.CreateTextBox to do this. ----------------------------------- xtremehacker Fri Sep 08, 2006 11:39 am ----------------------------------- Cool i didnt think about that thanks for all the help guys. ----------------------------------- NikG Fri Sep 08, 2006 8:14 pm ----------------------------------- Hope people don't think of this as a cheap plug... :wink: If you don't want to create your engine, check out this [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=13063]mod-able rts engine.
