Help - Basic Drawing/Animation

[Namis]

I was wondering if someone could help me with some help for someone who JUST started turing, i mean like two days ago.

Any tips on basic animation, Im aware of X/Y coords, and locate and such, and color/colorback, but how about some cool stuff? Sorry if this is in the tutorial section, but i didnt see anything, Anyway thats it

[krishon]

i dunno bout animations...maybeu can take a picture and locate it in different places

[Tony]

some tutorials on animation

images
smooth animation

those two should provide some explanations on HOW to use image files and how to move them around smoothly.

if the use of images would seem too advanced, try to start out with

basic shapes

the basics of animations are ofcourse altering the image, ether its location or shape.

code:

for i:1..maxx Draw.Oval(i,100,5,5,red) %X,Y, xRadius, yRadius, Color cls end for

[Namis]

Thanks tony, This forum rules, quick responses

[krishon]

partly cuz ppl are on at the right time

[Namis]

Thanks for the tip Tony, But im getting a problem, maybe someone can help


var mypic : int := Pic.FileNew ("C:\Lolol.jpg")
Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0)

Getting an error with C:\L ( \L )

Hopefully someone can solve this :> Loading a picture would be kewl

[krishon]

um...pic files should be in the same directory as the turing file

[Tony]

I'm not sure... maybe the file isn't there, or you spelled it worng...

usually helps if you post what debugger tells you

Also since position of the image is suppost to be an integer, maxx/2 might not work

[krishon]

i think it is cuz the file's rite in the C:\\ Drive........well namis will tell us the right solution nwayz

[Namis]

Does the File have to be saved for it to load images?

Its not in the same folder as turing, and its spelt right :>

[krishon]

um...do u have the pic in the same director as the program u wrote is in?

[Namis]

Sure do

[Dan]

did you chage your code to what krishon kind of pointed out?

you need \\ in turing not just \

[Namis]

ahh okay, didnt use \\

ill give it a whirl now,

[Namis]

Got it, Well Sorta, Only about 1/5 of the pic is on screen, just the bottom portion, guess i cant use
Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0)
ill mess around with location, Thanks for your help
