----------------------------------- 1337 Tue Jun 01, 2004 8:50 pm Help in making a triangle... ----------------------------------- I know you have to use lines for the triangle, but I tried alot of different numbers and can't figure it out. Basically, I want it to look like this: |_ | _ | - |- Well I'm not a good drawer but the 2 vertices pointing left. They should include the x and y coordinates as it's controlled when I'm making my shooting game. Thanks, ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jun 01, 2004 8:53 pm ----------------------------------- huh? Your picture didn't exactly look like a triangle, do you mean just a triangle with one of it's point pointing directly right? ----------------------------------- 1337 Tue Jun 01, 2004 8:55 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, sorry, I suck at drawing :\ | _ | _ | _ | ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jun 01, 2004 8:57 pm ----------------------------------- huh wha? anyway tell me if this is close var x: array 1..3 of int:=init (100, 100, 300) var y: array 1..3 of int:= init (100, 300, 200) drawpolygon (x,y,3,12) so it draws a triangle with vertices (100,100) , (100, 300), (300, 200) ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jun 01, 2004 8:58 pm ----------------------------------- delta's Pic~2~Code is always useful... otherwise var x, y, b : int loop Mouse.Where (x, y, b) Draw.Line (x, y, x + 50, y + 50, black) Draw.Line (x + 50, y + 50, x, y + 100, black) Draw.Line (x, y + 100, x, y, black) end loop ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Tue Jun 01, 2004 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- to make a triange you need 3 seperate drawline statements. each x and y pair of coords will have to be used twice... so: var x, y : array 1 .. 3 of int x (1) := 10 y (1) := 10 x (2) := 10 y (2) := 100 x (3) := 150 y (3) := 50 Draw.Line (x (1), y (1), x (2), y (2), black) Draw.Line (x (2), y (2), x (3), y (3), black) Draw.Line (x (1), x (1), x (3), y (3), black) Draw.Line (10, 10, 10, 100, black) Draw.Line (10, 100, 150, 50, black) Draw.Line (10, 10, 150, 50, black) both of these groups of 3 drawline statements do the same thing. ----------------------------------- SuperGenius Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:00 pm ----------------------------------- oops, it seems I have been beaten to the answer... :oops: ----------------------------------- 1337 Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:01 pm ----------------------------------- Well, I'm making a game and the x y coordinates should be controlled by my down and up arrow. Can you post how it should look like before Input.KeyDown (chars), etc. BTW: x := 10 y := 25 And also, can you make it smaller? Like 1/4th its size. thanks again ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:04 pm ----------------------------------- wow :shock: ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:14 pm ----------------------------------- Well, I'm making a game and the x y coordinates should be controlled by my down and up arrow. Can you post how it should look like before Input.KeyDown (chars), etc. BTW: x := 10 y := 25 And also, can you make it smaller? Like 1/4th its size. thanks again well what u can do is make one set of values variables, then make all other values dependent on your one set, that way when one changes, all will change. ----------------------------------- 1337 Wed Jun 02, 2004 5:59 pm ----------------------------------- var x, y, b : int loop View.Update cls Mouse.Where (x, y, b) Draw.Line (x, y, x + 50, y + 50, 78) Draw.Line (x + 50, y + 50, x, y + 100, 78) Draw.Line (x, y + 100, x, y, 78) end loop Okay, I got that, but now I want to know how to make it so that out of the triangle, red dots start shooting, while it moves with the mouse. Do you use drawline or drawdot, can you show a good example? After that, I want to know how to make ovals in random places through the screen. After that, I'll try to do collision and things, if I need more help I'll ask again :) Thanks again. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Wed Jun 02, 2004 7:59 pm ----------------------------------- Do you use drawline or drawdot red dots start shooting drawdot :lol: though if you want the dots to stay on the screen, you could use either. also, if you want the dots to be larger then 1x1 pixels, use drawfilloval. as for how: if you're shooting out 1 dot then if button pressed then button_pressed := true end if if button_pressed = true then red_dot_x += 1 red_dot_y += 1 drawdot (red_dot_x,red_dot_y, blue) :lol: end if I'm not sure how you want the red dots to shoot out though. maybe you want one to shoot from each side and to go with slopes of 1 and negative 1. :think: ----------------------------------- 1337 Thu Jun 03, 2004 10:51 pm ----------------------------------- I tried collision when it reaches maxx, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help? loop cls Mouse.Where (x, y, b) for a4 : 1 .. 10 x4 (a4) -= 3 if x4 (a4) < -30 then loop EXIT := true x4 (a4) := Rand.Int (maxx, maxx + 700) y4 (a4) := Rand.Int (0, maxy) for c : 1 .. a4 - 1 if MathDistance (x4 (a4), y4 (a4), x4 (c), y4 (c)) < 60 then EXIT := false end if end for exit when EXIT = true end loop end if setscreen ("offscreenonly") Pic.Draw (picture, x4 (a4), y4 (a4), picMerge) Pic.ScreenLoad ("unit.bmp", x, y, picCopy) end for View.Update end loop delay (150) cls end if ----------------------------------- .hack Sun Jun 06, 2004 4:58 pm ----------------------------------- if ur making a triangle..go into paint, draw ur triangle,m save it and import it thru GUI? Its not very hard to do, just check out the manual in Turing, Help > "Turing Reference" I believe. Its a basic command..I jsut forget what it is lo Pic.FileNew App5:("C:\TriangleOF133.JPG) or something to taht effect. ----------------------------------- 1337 Sat Jun 12, 2004 9:25 pm ----------------------------------- Also, I was wondering how you can use Mouse.Where and drawlines so that you can picture a bullet. Like: > = ship > . . . . (and the rest behind goes out) Kinda like this guys: http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=1340 Thanks again!
