don't make fun! im new!

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

Hey, i need help with my gr.9 turing assignment. keep in mind I hadn't heard of turing until about a month ago, and i don't know how noobish this
 question will sound.

for class we have to make a quick animation. I can't seem to figure out how to make my object(in this case a stickman) move down the screen. I can make him move across the screen, but can't seem to get the object to move down the screen. So if anyone can help me out with this, i would really appreciate it. 

thanks!

1)
This is Turing Tutorials, not Turing Help.  I.e., you've posted in the wrong forum.

2)
Please ask a mod to kindly have your thread moved.

3)
While you're here, look around the tutorials section, you might find some useful ones.  Did I say might?  You will.

4)
Everyone starts somewhere.

If you can get him to move across the screen, moving down the screen should be easy.  It's the same thing, only you change the y values of the object instead of the x values.
If you are still having trouble, please give more specific details of your problem.

Try subtracting from the y coordinates to move down. For example, to move a box down the screen we could put the draw command inside a little for loop and do the following:

for x: 1..100
  Draw.Box(300,300-i, 400,400-i,7)
  cls
end for

well i didnt even know there was computer programming in gr.9 and animation in it at that im in gr10 com. prog. and the closest thig to animation was that truck i did and even then the hydralics were my own idea and we never had 2 make it move

and ways....put your stick guy in a procedure the use a for statement or counter(for prefered)to change co-ordinates
