Space Invaders help

[andyman]

I've been designing a space invaders game on Turing 3. something and I can't figure out how to make the laser (the red thing that comes out of triangle) shoot and destroy oncoming enemies from the right. Unfortunately the extent of my teachers turing knowledge is a put statement and I'm the smartest guy in my class *laugh*. He doesn't even know how to update turing on our school's server!

Anywho, here's the program so far

code:

var w : int := Window.Open ("fullscreen") Window.Set (w, "nocursor") setscreen ("graphics") % Background drawbox ( - 1, - 1, 800, 601, 54) drawfill (1, 1, 16, 54) % Basic drawline (100, 5, 150, 26, 55) drawline (100, 55, 150, 26, 55) drawline (100, 55, 100, 5, 55) drawfill (105, 16, 55, 55) %Controls var x, e : int var c : string (1) x := 0 loop     getch (c)     if c = chr (200) and x < 540 then         drawline (100, x, 150, 21 + x, 55)         drawline (100, 50 + x, 150, 21 + x, 55)         drawline (100, 50 + x, 100, x, 55)         drawfill (1, 1, 16, 54)         x := x + 5         e := 26 + x     elsif c = chr (208) and x > 0 then         drawline (100, 10 + x, 150, 31 + x, 55)         drawline (100, 60 + x, 150, 31 + x, 55)         drawline (100, 60 + x, 100, 10 + x, 55)         drawfill (1, 1, 16, 54)         x := x - 5         e := 26 + x     elsif c = chr (205) then         for t : 1 .. 700 by 10             drawline (150 + t, e, 180 + t, e, red)             delay (10)             drawline (150 + t, e, 180 + t, e, 16)         end for     end if     drawline (100, 5 + x, 150, e, 55)     drawline (100, 55 + x, 150, e, 55)     drawline (100, 55 + x, 100, 5 + x, 55)     drawfill (105, 15 + x, 55, 55) end loop

If you could help me or just give me tips ASAP, I'd really appreciate it

before you go any further i'm gonna have to ask you to switch to turing v4.04 if you have it. games that use the keyboard are just awful without Input.KeyDown.

and if you don't have turing 4, i suggest using the mouse for flying the ship. ie, if the mouse y coord is greater than the ship's y coord, increase y, if it is lower, decrease y. in case you don't know how to use the mouse there are some good tutorials somewhere around here:

are u andy sun?

[andyman]

No I'm Andy Johnson

[Homer_simpson]

try reading the collision detection tutorials on this website first... theil help u with detecting when the laser hits your enemies...

[Asok]

I've made Space Invaders 2.

I'll post it in July.

[Andy]

hmm isn't it called glaxian

[Asok]

MINE is called space invaders 2

[naoki]

use like a process to control a shooting animation so it'll shoot while u move

everything else is just collision detection and seeing when you hit the upper bound, when the max number of bullets is achieved, and so on. i won't tell u everything, experiment 1st and then i'll help u some more

born 130, shut up, stop saying my full name u fag and no its not me, u'd know i'm better than that and i dun use turing 3

[hello]

offscreenonly
View.Update
wait does turing 3.0 have View.Update?

[born130]

no

and once again, born130 gets 2 bits for 2 lettersr

Your program is good so far.
