----------------------------------- air_force91 Thu Nov 20, 2003 9:12 pm ping pong ----------------------------------- I wanted to display a ping pong game...REMEMBER:im a beginner lol. loop put "! $ !" delay(10) put "! $ !" delay(10) put "! $!" delay(10) put "! $ !" delay(10) put "! $ !" end loop neways...i wanted to know...how could i move just the dollar sign back and forth within the bars (! !) instead of repeating the bars on the screen...thanx... ----------------------------------- thoughtful Thu Nov 20, 2003 10:14 pm ----------------------------------- Bro you should stop posting 2 topics and try doing some work on your own. Or you will get the turing gurus mad :evil: :evil: :evil: ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Nov 20, 2003 10:24 pm ----------------------------------- try this: var pos := 0 % position of the ball var move := 1 % 1 = move right, -1 = move left loop put "!", repeat (" ", pos), "$", repeat (" ", 5 - pos), "!" % put the !, then a number of spaces equal to the space between the left paddle and the ball, then the ball, and more space, then the right paddle delay (60) % 10ms is pretty short, for something so simple a bigger delay is better cls pos += move % increase the position by move (so, if move is negative, the ball moves to the left) if pos = 0 or pos = 5 then % if the ball hits a paddle, switch the direction move *= -1 end if end loop thoughtful, i'm guessing the double post was a bug in the forum. and as for the program he did try doing it on his own. ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Thu Nov 20, 2003 10:32 pm ----------------------------------- lol, I didn't even notice there were two posts... anyways, Mazer did it the smart way, he actually thought about it, if you want to learn how to problem solve, use his, otherwise, if you are lazy, use mine, it's so much simpler when it comes to understanding. :P ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Nov 20, 2003 10:37 pm ----------------------------------- yeah, yours is much simpler asian, but i don't like to use locate. i don't really know why... ----------------------------------- thoughtful Fri Nov 21, 2003 12:33 am ----------------------------------- Hey i am sorry for criticising you airforce man....didnt know it was a bug. ----------------------------------- morgoth Sun Nov 23, 2003 9:37 am ----------------------------------- LOL I was just thinking about the locate command and how much I hate it as well LOL :D -CHEERS! ----------------------------------- air_force91 Sun Nov 23, 2003 12:03 pm ----------------------------------- wow...u got it all wrong...seriously...i only posted once...and i do my work on my own...is it a crime to ask ppl better than u out there for some help? and second of all...im not a "bro" or a "man"...im a girl...seriously...are only boys interested in planes and airforce? :roll: ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Nov 23, 2003 12:05 pm ----------------------------------- actually its not the planes and airforce.. its compsci. ----------------------------------- thoughtful Sun Nov 23, 2003 6:54 pm ----------------------------------- LOL, its actually very rare to find girls here.
