How Do You Delete A Drawfillbox?

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

Well I am making a quiz game in turing for a project for school.

There are many white drawfillboxes infront of a picture. The program asks you questions, and everytime you get one right; a box dissapears to reveal more of the picture.

So I need to know, how do you delete a drawfillbox?

And if it's impossible, what are some other things I could try?

you could cls and then display everything again except for that one box.

You can eliminate the flicker that will occur by doing the following:

[syntax = "Turing"]

setscreen ("offscreenonly")  % to store next screen in memory (no visual)

%then put in everything again except for that one box

setscreen ("onscreen")  % to switch to normal mode

View.Update % to display the new content

[/syntax]

Thank you so much, I really appretiate it!

My problem with Turing is I have my mind wrapped around one way of solving it, I never thought of that way for solving it.

Thanks for that and the code~

Such is the way of the programmer. You have to figure out the basest way of doing something before you can code it.
