Need help with Pictures

[Geostigma]

I read the tutorials on how to load a image into Turing. However, I can't seem to get the picture to load from a drive specific location without some kind of error message.

code:

var mypic :int:= Pic.FileNew ("D:\turing\mygame\example.jpg"

The "\" and first letter after seem to get highlighted when the error message pops up.

Could you perhaps try escaping your backslashes? Like using \\ instead of \? Backslashes tend to be used for escaping special characters, like \t.

You are given the option of '\\' or '/'. Both mean the same thing when dealing with file paths in Turing.

Know what that makes alot of sense, Ill try using the "\\" or "/"

[Geostigma]

code:

Pic.ScreenLoad ("D:/Turing/GAME/layout_01.jpg": string, x, y, mode : int)

Okay so this is what I have but now there is a new error telling me that its expecting a "," after or before the ":" I don't see how something so easy has become so frustrating

Is that the actual code that you have in your program? If it is, take the : string and the : int out of your call to ScreenLoad.

I'm using the example code in the help file. The changes you suggested aren't working . I'm going to look at the tut again



EDIT: Okay so this works... I don't know if its that big of a deal to use what I was using before or just use this command as it is. I'm still learning Turing so I want to learn how to load up images so I can start learning more and more advance items of code.

code:

var mypic :int := Pic.FileNew ("D:/Turing/GAME/layout_01.jpg")  Pic.Draw (mypic, 0, 0, 0)

Before you learn about pictures, look up functions and procedures in the Turing Walkthrough. You will notice a lot of mistakes you made and why the code you produced earlier was not working.
