Since I don't exactly know what your problem is and you didn't post any code that you were having trouble with, I will just give you a few links.
You should read over Welcome to Turing Help; Important Info & Tutorial Links and the The Turing Walkthrough - Beginning to End. Most (if not all) of your questions will be answered in these threads. I would also recommend using search because I never needed to ask for help in Turing because all the information was already there.

how long have you been programming? if your new, and this is for your gr.10 compsci class, you could probably drop it for now, and work on something smaller (not to say you cant pick it up later!) Age of Empires is a big game with some complex features and its own unique problems to encounter, if you still feel that you can do this at this point is strongly suggest you check out classes.

I have been programming for about four years now so i know my way around turing pretty good but i dont know everything. I will post the code that im having problems with and no im not in school anymore.

I know im not supposed to really ask questions in a post or w.e but does anyone know if it is posible to put scrolling text in a turing run window???

well what exactly do you mean by scrolling text? do you mean can you have text going across the screen, down the screen? if thats what you mean the answer to either of these questions is yes, look into the Font. commands and see if you can't come up with something, if you can't get it post back here with the code you've tried

Ive got like an intro/instruction page to display the key controlls and i want the text to scroll slowly up the page i cant figure out how to do this.

For four years of programming experience it doesn't like you know to much.

Anyway, here's the code:

code:

View.Set("offscreenonly")
var font : int := Font.New("Arial:20:bold")
var y : int := 10

loop
Font.Draw("Text", 100, y, font, 7)
View.Update
y += 1
delay(10)
cls
exit when y = maxy
end loop

Im better with others kinds of programming I am kinda new with turing anyway thanks man for this code it will be a big help.

that is the basics of any programming, problem solving, and math.

I hate that there is no edit ability, anyways:

Why then, are you trying to creat a program of this magnitude.

I dont know it will be a complicated program to make with turing but I am up for the challenge. If you want you can help out with the code it don't matter.

You could also use GUI.CreateTextBox to do this.

Cool i didnt think about that thanks for all the help guys.
