I need some help with the rotation

[jd]

Hi there, I'm a first year student who started learning turing to make program. I have a question on how to rotate my 3-d box, I try to make it just as similar as the screen saver that we usually have on our computer. I had look through all the posts about rotation, but I still have no clue how to do it. Can anyone help me with this? I'll be very appreciate with that.
My program is on the following:

Quote:

% Jacklyn

View.Set ("offscreenonly")

setscreen ("screen:max;max")

% background colour
colourback (7)
cls

% variables
var x, y : int := 10
var c : int := 25
var x2, y2 : int := 3

loop

% draw 3D-box
drawbox (x, y, x + 50, y + 50, c)
drawline (x, y + 50, x + 30, y + 80, c)
drawline (x + 30, y + 80, x + 80, y + 80, c)
drawline (x + 80, y + 80, x + 50, y + 50, c)
drawline (x + 80, y + 80, x + 80, y + 30, c)
drawline (x + 80, y + 30, x + 50, y, c)
drawfill (x + 60, y + 70, c, 7)
drawfill (x + 70, y + 65, c, 7)

% show output
View.Update

% no exit statement in this program

% delay
delay (40)

% erase
cls

% moving position
x += x2
y += y2
if x < 10 or x > maxx - 90 then
x2 := -x2
c := c + 2
end if
if y < 10 or y > maxy - 90 then
y2 := -y2
c := c + 2
end if

end loop

Read up on Pic.Rotate.

Fixed.

That's not what he need help with, he wants to know about rotating 3D shapes.
EDIT: What the? did some one post again about Pic.rotate?

I'm very sorry of keep asking the same question over and over again, but I'm a very beginner of turing, I haven't get a chance to learn Pic.Rotate yet. I was trying to do some extra things in my program, which is rotate the 3D box/shapes. I've tried to look on the Turing Tutorials; although I read the postes, but the main problem is I don't really understand about it. Could you help me with this?

Hold on there partner, take it one step at a time. If you haven't even talked about Pic.Rotate() and it's friends, then you're definitely not ready for 3D. Learn 2D first, then go for 3D.

are there any post about the rotation of 2D shapes?
this is so confusing for me..

Use the search function at the top of the page, there's been tons of posts about rotating a 2D shape.

okok, thank you so much.
But if I still don't understand about it, can I ask you about that?

Did you just ask permission to ask for help on a help forum?

No, I'm afraid we don't do that here.

It's ok, I am going to use another way to do it.

I think I broke my own sacasmeter with that remark...

Clayton you sucks at sarcasm. jd, google 3d rotation.
