No more line drawing and they're not the same as they are on every ASCII chart I know (for example, chr(246) ÷, but it doesn't! chr(247) does. :? ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Jan 23, 2004 3:14 pm ----------------------------------- lol :lol: HoltSoft screwed up ASCII charts :lol: thats alright, you shouldn't be using hardcoded values anyways. And it's a good time to move on to GUI instead of ASCII tables anyways :D ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:00 pm ----------------------------------- oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh turing 4.0.6 due out in 2 months APPARENTLY , rough estimate given by tom west , there is a a beta he had been working on fora while he would like to implement into turing ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:13 pm ----------------------------------- oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh turing 4.0.6 due out in 2 months APPARENTLY , rough estimate given by tom west , there is a a beta he had been working on fora while he would like to implement into turing how u geting this info? your compsci teacher telling u? ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:17 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah , we talk alot , he teaches me 5x more outta school than in school ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:28 pm ----------------------------------- cool 8) any info on whats new in 4.0.6? ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:31 pm ----------------------------------- its not really a bug fix , think he has been working on making turing faster and more efficiant , and obvously versions go by and the update isnt complete , and suposedly its finnaly been tested ,and is being worked into the structure as we speak ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun Jan 25, 2004 7:31 am ----------------------------------- Ooh. Sounds good! ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Jan 25, 2004 10:21 am ----------------------------------- haha shorthair our inside agent (sortof) ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 10:24 am ----------------------------------- :vi: Secret Caujin man , du du , Secret Caujin man :vi: i gotta have a theme song ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jan 25, 2004 4:28 pm ----------------------------------- man we should get holtsoft to let us beta test turing for them ----------------------------------- shorthair Tue Jan 27, 2004 6:36 am ----------------------------------- Holt soft do their BETA testing , by releasing it , and letting every school in canada beta test , becuse its totally bug filled , i remember whe n4 came uout we were all so happy and literally hte first 6 or 7 commands i tried wer not implimented < one of being FULLSCREEN , Hopefuly they will realease a bug free enviroment next , that would rock ----------------------------------- rizzix Tue Jan 27, 2004 9:38 pm ----------------------------------- the sprites don't work!! :shock: ----------------------------------- shorthair Wed Jan 28, 2004 7:41 am ----------------------------------- your jokin right , seriously they still dont work :shock: , ok thats just crazy ----------------------------------- da_foz Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:47 pm ----------------------------------- If you are this into a new Turning release, may I suggest moving onto another language. Turing is great to learn on, but once you have mastered it, I think you should start to read up on Java or C or something else. You need to learn about Object Orieented stuff. OOT is an ok start on that although I did not understand it when I did it in grade 12. I think doing VB in OAC helped me a lot about learning OO stuff. ----------------------------------- jonos Thu Mar 04, 2004 11:59 am ----------------------------------- turing is also good to try stuff on before trying it on another language, or to just go back to to have fun. catalyst does some crazy stuff with turing and hes really good with c++. ----------------------------------- da_foz Thu Mar 04, 2004 3:31 pm ----------------------------------- That's cool. It just sounded like people were talking like Turing was the be all and end all. It sure was fun to play with and learn with. ----------------------------------- not_l33t Sat Apr 03, 2004 2:08 pm ----------------------------------- Can anyone provide the illustration for what the new commands do? ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Apr 03, 2004 2:46 pm ----------------------------------- They are alll desribed well in the turing help file that comes with turing 4.0.5. The help file should be incuded with the download for it. ----------------------------------- RaPsCaLLioN Mon Apr 12, 2004 2:32 am ----------------------------------- BOOO!!! to Turing's new update... all my 3D programs run like crap now. What I was running at 13FPS I now run at 2FPS... :( It's taking longer on some calculation or function or something, and since my programs are all calculations and functions.. I'm screwed. ----------------------------------- gamer Sun Apr 18, 2004 2:30 pm ----------------------------------- how come when i click "update to latest version" in the help menu in turing, the latest version from holtsoft is of 4.0.4c or sumthin, not 4.0.5 ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Apr 18, 2004 3:55 pm ----------------------------------- because 4.0.5 is an unofficial release. ----------------------------------- shorthair Mon Apr 19, 2004 6:37 pm ----------------------------------- Because shorthair is very very sneaky , and can grab lots of things that arnt released yet , " packet sniffing POP3 emails in the school board is not a crime " ----------------------------------- Muffin Man Fri May 07, 2004 8:20 am What if you can't get thefile anymore? ----------------------------------- Well, I came here a little late, and now no one except you guys has the Turing update. I wonder if there's aniother place to download it, or if someone can send it to me... darn you Holtsoft ----------------------------------- Dan Fri May 07, 2004 11:38 am ----------------------------------- No other place to download it, and even if there was we could not tell u scince it whould be an illgea download and then we could get sewed. You could just wate for them to relaes it or hope your school gets one of the test copys. ----------------------------------- LiquidDragon Sun May 16, 2004 5:23 pm ----------------------------------- The update doesnt work. I'm stuck with 4.0.4c and cant use Math.Distance :x or sprites :wall: ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Sun May 16, 2004 6:48 pm ----------------------------------- you still can't use sprites in 4.0.5. And for Math.Distance, just make your own, it's not that hard. ----------------------------------- beard0 Wed May 19, 2004 8:22 am ----------------------------------- The link for 4.0.5 doesn't work anymore - take a look at http://www.holtsoft.com/transfer/. Does anybody know where else you can get it? All I need is an update. ----------------------------------- Bains Wed May 19, 2004 5:49 pm ----------------------------------- when will the download be available again :?: ----------------------------------- Dan Wed May 19, 2004 6:15 pm ----------------------------------- LOL, we do not have any invalment with holt soft so we whould have no way of knowing. It is sposted to be an update to 4.0.4 so it is posable that they will realce it as an offical update in the futtuer. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed May 19, 2004 11:28 pm ----------------------------------- knowing HoltSoft, they not going to do that untill September :? You better hope on having friends who still have the patch saved somewhere :think: ----------------------------------- Bains Thu May 20, 2004 2:42 pm ----------------------------------- ok i think i know someone who still ahs the update thx for the heads up Bains ----------------------------------- Dewyd Tue May 25, 2004 5:10 pm Re: Turing 4.0.5 Update ----------------------------------- Yo So where the hell can i DOWNLOAD this program???I need it on this week i have a big project!!! If any1 could help me plz write me an e-mail!! Thx Dew :[/img] ----------------------------------- Andy Tue May 25, 2004 7:29 pm ----------------------------------- paypal me some cash and i'll give you access to my ftp which contains this so called turing that you are looking for :twisted: ----------------------------------- Tony Wed May 26, 2004 8:03 am ----------------------------------- Dewyd : holtsoft has removed the update. If you want v4.0.5 you got to get it from school/friends who still have the patch if not, you can try to become good friends with compsci community members - such as dodge here :lol: ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Mon May 31, 2004 4:13 pm ----------------------------------- Does anyone know if holtsoft are planning to get off their butts and get sprites back in? BTW Dan: Dansprites is on the server at my school for everyone to use because someone brought it in and the teachers looked it over and liked it i guess. lol... "why is some guy on the internet doing this when holstoft is not"..."Yep i called them about sprites and they said they're working on it, which means they're not" all in all though, gj on that, Dan ----------------------------------- Paul Mon May 31, 2004 5:05 pm ----------------------------------- yep, I told the teacher about it, and he got a copy. Though we still say to avoid it if you can, because there are still some bugs. ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Mon May 31, 2004 7:21 pm ----------------------------------- yep. I put it into my super breakout and it got really messed up. but it is very good for an early release. ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jun 01, 2004 12:02 pm ----------------------------------- I got a hole new idea on how to do them where it will be like 1000 times better and faster then my curent verson. I will probly have it out by the summer, unfortaly b/c i have study for exames and do final projects for school it has been dealyed. It should work fine tho if your sprites do not need to touch each other, lol. ----------------------------------- .hack Sun Jun 06, 2004 4:54 pm ----------------------------------- yea my programming ISU is due tomorrow, the end of the year ISU I mean, and guess what, I don't have Turing on my computer casue Holt decided toi pull a micrshaft and take it off the download. THx Holtsoft, you've officially Corked me in the arse. )I did have it untiL i formatted) ----------------------------------- gamechampionx Sat Jun 26, 2004 10:24 pm ----------------------------------- That link doesn't work. Does anybody know where I can get the new Turing version? ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Jun 26, 2004 10:26 pm ----------------------------------- Sigh, try reading some of the replys. ----------------------------------- gamechampionx Sun Jun 27, 2004 9:30 am ----------------------------------- Wow, this is great. Does nebody want to supply a link to the program? I'm sure it would help a lot of people, including me. I had it for school and stuff, but I had to wipe my HD so now I don't have it anymore. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Sun Jun 27, 2004 10:32 am ----------------------------------- i have turing 4.0.4 on my computer... ...in the UNDERGROUND section of my forum..*need to be loged in to seee it..
