Repeating Program Errors

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

Hello,
For my grade 11 final i'v made a maze type game where the user is a red dot and needs to reach the destination point, without going out of bonds or touching a white block.

Problem:
-Once level one is done and you click to continue, level one repeats itself (its not suppose to)

Does anyone know.....:
-Once in the game is in progress, can i get rid of the cursor, so that you just see the red dot

Any help will be helpful
 :wink:

The cursor is accessible through WinAPI. If you really want to, you can look up the sample calls for toggling cursor visibility in... probably VB or C++. Compile them as executables and trigger through Sys.Exec from Turing.

is there a way to turn off the cursor, with just using the system command?

what i mean by that is could you do something like

system ("C:/...")

I though there was a nocursor function built into turing, where you add in the View.Set?

Also, TallGuy, make a variable as level and have each map set at a different number.


var level : int := 0

if level = 0 then
     %Map
end if

Almost. That's the "your text will be typed here" cursor setting, not the mouse pointer. Which is what I assumed the OP was asking about.

Ah, been awhile since I used that function, can't remember why though.

how would that work for my code?
Srry i didn't zip my pics with it, but i'm working on a 98, so i can't compress folders  :(
