----------------------------------- jd Tue Feb 19, 2008 10:43 pm I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Hi there, I'm a first year student who started learning turing to make program. I have a question on how to rotate my 3-d box, I try to make it just as similar as the screen saver that we usually have on our computer. I had look through all the posts about rotation, but I still have no clue how to do it. Can anyone help me with this? I'll be very appreciate with that. My program is on the following: % Jacklyn View.Set ("offscreenonly") setscreen ("screen:max;max") % background colour colourback (7) cls % variables var x, y : int := 10 var c : int := 25 var x2, y2 : int := 3 loop % draw 3D-box drawbox (x, y, x + 50, y + 50, c) drawline (x, y + 50, x + 30, y + 80, c) drawline (x + 30, y + 80, x + 80, y + 80, c) drawline (x + 80, y + 80, x + 50, y + 50, c) drawline (x + 80, y + 80, x + 80, y + 30, c) drawline (x + 80, y + 30, x + 50, y, c) drawfill (x + 60, y + 70, c, 7) drawfill (x + 70, y + 65, c, 7) % show output View.Update % no exit statement in this program % delay delay (40) % erase cls % moving position x += x2 y += y2 if x < 10 or x > maxx - 90 then x2 := -x2 c := c + 2 end if if y < 10 or y > maxy - 90 then y2 := -y2 c := c + 2 end if end loop ----------------------------------- Sean Wed Feb 20, 2008 7:24 am Re: I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Read up on Pic.Rotate. ----------------------------------- ericfourfour Wed Feb 20, 2008 3:41 pm Re: I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Read up on 3D geometry. Fixed. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Wed Feb 20, 2008 6:08 pm RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- That's not what he need help with, he wants to know about rotating 3D shapes. EDIT: What the? did some one post again about Pic.rotate? ----------------------------------- jd Wed Feb 20, 2008 8:00 pm Re: RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- That's not what he need help with, he wants to know about rotating 3D shapes. EDIT: What the? did some one post again about Pic.rotate? I'm very sorry of keep asking the same question over and over again, but I'm a very beginner of turing, I haven't get a chance to learn Pic.Rotate yet. I was trying to do some extra things in my program, which is rotate the 3D box/shapes. I've tried to look on the Turing Tutorials; although I read the postes, but the main problem is I don't really understand about it. Could you help me with this? ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:11 pm RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Hold on there partner, take it one step at a time. If you haven't even talked about Pic.Rotate() and it's friends, then you're definitely not ready for 3D. Learn 2D first, then go for 3D. ----------------------------------- jd Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:24 pm Re: RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Hold on there partner, take it one step at a time. If you haven't even talked about Pic.Rotate() and it's friends, then you're definitely not ready for 3D. Learn 2D first, then go for 3D. are there any post about the rotation of 2D shapes? this is so confusing for me.. ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:27 pm RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Use the search function at the top of the page, there's been tons of posts about rotating a 2D shape. ----------------------------------- jd Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:28 pm Re: RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Use the search function at the top of the page, there's been tons of posts about rotating a 2D shape. okok, thank you so much. But if I still don't understand about it, can I ask you about that? ----------------------------------- ericfourfour Wed Feb 20, 2008 10:16 pm Re: RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- But if I still don't understand about it, can I ask you about that? Did you just ask permission to ask for help on a help forum? ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Feb 20, 2008 10:36 pm RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- But if I still don't understand about it, can I ask you about that? No, I'm afraid we don't do that here. ----------------------------------- jd Thu Feb 21, 2008 12:09 am Re: RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- But if I still don't understand about it, can I ask you about that?

I'm sorry, I didn't noticed about that. ----------------------------------- jd Thu Feb 21, 2008 12:11 am Re: RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- But if I still don't understand about it, can I ask you about that? No, I'm afraid we don't do that here. It's ok, I am going to use another way to do it. ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu Feb 21, 2008 8:45 am RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- I think I broke my own sacasmeter with that remark... ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:12 pm RE:I need some help with the rotation ----------------------------------- Clayton you sucks at sarcasm. jd, google 3d rotation.
