Missile Help in Missile Command

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

I am making Missile Command i have most things completed except the core of the game (the missiles) that drop from the sky...  i just can't figure out a way to program the missiles to fall... or anything ... i need some insight on how to make lines drop gradually from the top if someone could help it will be greatly appreciated... Thanks

this should be in "turing help" not "turing submissions", here is where u submit your programs.

drop as in

View.Set ("offscreenonly")
var y : int := maxy

loop
    exit when y < 0
    y -= 5
    Draw.FillOval (100, y, 5, 5, red)
    View.Update
    cls
end loop

? :think:

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

replace the drawfilloval with the procedure you use to draw your graphics, then use delay() to make the program run slower.

sweet

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

k yeah i got that like... draw.filloval stuff going down like straight down thx for the good start its going good now i think now... i never thought of using ovals... i thought of using lines... i'm not sure if u could use lines also... anyone know if u could use lines too... hmmm quite complecated mb its easier then i think it is... i'm over thinking it i think.... i made it like this.... : 

View.Set ("offscreenonly:640;400") 
var y : int := maxy 
var y1 : int := 21



loop 

    %exit when y < 0
    
    if y  0

    end loop

end loop


Okay so when u run it u don't see anything i can't get it to show the missile falling can neone see why is there a tweek i need to do...???

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

you used cls right after you draw the line, so it is erased before it is shown. move the cls before the drawline

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

well, your variables (x and y) are not changing, so of course it will be the same line forever. change the variables.

yeah

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

yeah but see i'm making x1 and y1 being at a fixed state at the top of the screen and then x2 and y2 are - 1 so that those two points move down the screen u see??? does that make any sense?/?


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

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

yes, you made the x2 and y2 -1 when you are using it, but you are not changing the basic value of them. if x2 is originally 6, then you will have an x value of x2-1=6-1=5 always, use x2:=x2-2 or x2-=2 to actually change the value stored inside the variable

alright thanks man its workin prety good... check it 

View.Set ("offscreenonly:640;400") 

var x1, y1 : int 
var x2 : int 
var y2 : int 



loop 

    randomize 

    randint (x1, 0, 640) 
    randint (y1, 400, 500) 
    randint (x2, 0, 640) 
    y2 := 0 

    loop 
        cls 
        drawline (x1, y1, x2, y2, 4) 
        x2-=5
        y2-=5
        delay (100) 
        exit when y2 > 0 

    end loop 

end loop 


now see if u run it... (if you can) ... umm its kinda going wrong way lol i can't figure out why do u see???  hmmm
