Possible "Flash" type movie in turing?

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

Hey everyone, :) 

      I'm new to these forums and i find it a great resource of knowledge and help. I'm currently in a Comp Sci program in school and we're using turing ( 3.2 , due to some recent cuts its all we have  :cry:  ) and for my final project we have to create a game, but with some reasoning with my teacher I've convinced him to let me do an animation... 

     I've seen varous animations of colour and stuff, but i was wondering turing could handle doing a "music video" with characters walking around and dancing to the music. I can import music but how would you get the characters to run smoothly enough to actually look good, i can make balls, squares and rectangles move around the screen the only problem is that they may cause a seizure if you stare to long.  :?  :?  :? 

     Any suggestions or ideas for my music would be greatly aprreciated. 


Thanks,
w00t w00t


P.S.  For music, something other than the mario or mortal combat theme would be nice...  :lol:

You turned down the offer to make a game?  I should refuse to help you!!

Bah, that aside, Turing can do this, though it would take a lot of effort to make it look right.  You will probably want to use pictures, so Pic.FileNew and Pic.Draw will help you out.  To make animations, you should probably follow Records
var Stewie :
    record
        disco : array 1 .. 10 of int
        walk : array 1 .. 6 of int
        jump : array 1 .. 9 of int
    end record

for i : 1 .. upper (Stewie.disco)
    Stewie.disco (i) := Pic.FileNew ("StewieDisco" + intstr (i) + ".bmp")
end for

Catch my drift?
Yes would work well.  Perhaps Roundabout or Tempus Fugit.[/EDIT]

Yes i turned down a game because i felt doing an animation may be more of a challenge for me. My teacher gave us  I believe three choices and i didn't want to do those, i wanted to do something different that we haven't touched in class per say.... Thanx alot for the help
