----------------------------------- mitheralice Tue Jun 03, 2014 4:57 pm Beat Creator, "Saving" The User's Choice ----------------------------------- What is it you are trying to achieve? I want to make a beat maker, similar to the following: http://www.drumbot.com/projects/pattern_sequencer/ What is the problem you are having? The problem I'm having is try to "remember/save" all of the user's choices. When they click on a box, I want that box to be "saved" until they deactivate it. The box needs to be activated, and stay activated, so when the beat timer (metronome) activates that tile. Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I've looked into forking, and procedures, neither yielded the result I wanted. Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) put "See Attached" Please specify what version of Turing you are using ----------------------------------- Raknarg Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:03 am RE:Beat Creator, "Saving" The User\'s Choice ----------------------------------- Before you go any further with this, you need to go to the Turing Walkthrough and learn about arrays, then use them in your program. This will help tremendously ----------------------------------- mitheralice Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:35 am Re: Beat Creator, "Saving" The User's Choice ----------------------------------- Thank you for responding, I have used arrays and this has helped a lot. I have a new problem, when I click the button it activates, now I want it to un-click if I need it to. if b = 1 then if x > 100 and x < 150 and y > 325 and y < 375 then re (3) := 1 end if end if I'm willing to use right click, but I don't know how to receive information from the right button. So if b > 1 or b < 1 then re (3) := 2 or something similar. ----------------------------------- Srlancelot39 Wed Jun 04, 2014 9:59 am RE:Beat Creator, "Saving" The User\'s Choice ----------------------------------- If I remember correctly, 1 is left click, 100 is right click. So you would check to see if the button number from mousewhere is 100... ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jun 04, 2014 10:56 am Re: Beat Creator, "Saving" The User's Choice ----------------------------------- un-click [code] if b = 1 then if x > 100 and x < 150 and y > 325 and y < 375 then re (3) := 1 % what does it mean if re(3) already has a value of 1? end if end if [/code] But you'll quickly discover something interesting about mouse buttons. The mouse button state is read hundreds of time per second, so holding the mouse down is not the same as a click. If you consider the passage of time, you can double the number of mouse states: UP-UP (nothing is happening) UP-DOWN (clicked down just this moment) DOWN-DOWN (holding the button down) DOWN-UP (release the button just this moment) Test this out! What happens when you click-and-hold on [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine]a link? ----------------------------------- mitheralice Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:57 pm RE:Beat Creator, "Saving" The User\'s Choice ----------------------------------- I just want to change the value of re(3) if the user clicks on it more than once, or with another mouse button. ----------------------------------- mitheralice Wed Jun 04, 2014 2:30 pm RE:Beat Creator, "Saving" The User\'s Choice ----------------------------------- Mouse.Where (x, y, b) if b = 1 then if x > 100 and x < 150 and y > 125 and y < 175 then re (1) := 1 resetvalue (1) := 1 end if end if Mouse.Where (x, y, b) if b = 1 and resetvalue (1) > 0 then if x > 100 and x < 150 and y > 125 and y < 175 then re (1) := 2 resetvalue (1) := 0 end if end if I managed to do this, and this works well, but now I have a fresh problem, this isn't efficient, and I have to click really, really, really, fast. I need to do this 56 times, is there any way to make this automatic with a certain array, if so please respond. Thank you. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jun 04, 2014 3:13 pm Re: RE:Beat Creator, "Saving" The User\'s Choice ----------------------------------- I have to click really, really, really, fast. Called it! But you'll quickly discover... Read my previous comments again. You want to somehow capture the UP-DOWN (or DOWN-UP) transition. Checking for b = 1 is looking only at "DOWN". [code] if previous_state = 0 and current_state = 1 then % UP-DOWN [/code] ----------------------------------- mitheralice Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:57 pm RE:Beat Creator, "Saving" The User\'s Choice ----------------------------------- [code]loop count := count + 1 if count > 7 then count := 1 end if holdy := holdy + 50 if holdy > 600 then hold := 0 end if Mouse.ButtonChoose ("multibutton") Mouse.Where (x, y, b) left := b mod 10 % left = 0 or 1 middle := (b - left) mod 100 % middle = 0 or 10 right := b - middle - left % right = 0 or 100 if left = 1 then if x > 100 + hold and x < 150 + hold and y > 125 + holdy and y < 175 + holdy then re (count) := 1 Music.Play ("aaa") end if end if if right = 100 then if x > 100 and x < 150 and y > 125 and y < 175 then re (count) := 0 end if end if if re (count) = 1 then Draw.FillBox (100, 125 + holdy, 150, 175 + holdy, red) elsif re (count) = 0 then Draw.FillBox (100, 125 + holdy, 150, 175 + holdy, black) Draw.Box (100, 125 + holdy, 150, 175 + holdy, red) end if end loop [/code] New Problem, it just wont work...
