----------------------------------- Miko99 Tue Apr 01, 2003 11:05 am Create a program using integers and shapes ----------------------------------- create a program that will simulate the roll of a dice so that when it is run it will show a square with little circles in it that represent the side of the dice that is rolled. i.e. If a 3 is rolled there will be a square on the screen with 3 circles in it. Don't worry about getting the circles in the exact location as a real die. Even if you just put the circles in a straight line in the square would be good enough for now. ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Apr 01, 2003 12:30 pm ----------------------------------- you should take a look at Catalyst's 3D engine. I belive he posted some of his source code - take a look at that. ----------------------------------- Delta Tue Apr 01, 2003 12:51 pm Try something like this ----------------------------------- Just create an if statement that takes the value of the roll and draws 1,2,3...so on circles. example roll var roll : int := Rand.Int (1,6) roll = 3 if roll=3 then draw the following _______ | O O O | | | |______| if roll = 5 then draw the following _______ | O O O | | O O | |______| simple if statements would be the easiest but they may take up quite a few lines of code if you choose to draw circle by circle. You should learn for loops The box is suspose to be a die :P
