Picture Frame

[hotsnow]

can any one help me make a picture frame using the "for-end for" loop to repeatedly draw lines,circles, etc. around the screen?

Thanx-
much appreciated

The Turing Walkthrough points for tutorials on how to use for-loops and drawing.

Tony thanks for your help but I read the whole tut and it still doesnt help me...maybe you could pinpoint the solution? if you could it would be great

Turing:

for i: 1 .. maxx    Draw.Oval(i, 100, 5, 5, red)    delay(100) end for

You need to understand two things here:

For loops (try a few activities and try to understand how they work)
, and drawing (look in the turing help on how to use the drawing command for things like ovals, lines, etc).

If you need any more help (being more specific on your question about what your learned) - we're here to help.

thanks for your help guys but what I am asking for is like some cool looking designs you could do on the frame, like something that'd look nice and cool around the border of the frame..

[Tony]

That is not at all a specific question. What kind of a design would you consider cool? What kind of problems do you encounter in implementing the said design?

[andrew.]

Try playing around with the drawing tools. Try drawing things in a straight line first to see of you like it. You could do things like have circles that go together to make a slinky looking border.

[hotsnow]

thanks andrew, could you give me an example perhaps?

Since no one else is going to say this, I will.

We're not here to give you code to copy and paste into your assignment. We're here to help you derive the code that you will write to aid your assignment.

After all, it's your assignment, not ours. Most of us have already done these in years past.

Now to make this post useful, I think this looks like a nice frame:

[hotsnow]

Euphoracle, you're obviously missing the point here. I'm NOT asking for the code. I'm asking your guys' help so i can make the code myself. I've read the tut that Tony asked me to go read(and a few others) but they still don't help me which is why I made this thread. I need help in, for ex., how to make make a patterned design made of circles, boxes, etc. go across the screen from left to right, and bottom to top. Which commands should I use (because we haven't learned that many in class), How to choose different colours? (since they're numbered, and I don't know which number is which colour)
So do you understand what I'm trying to say??
I hope you do =(. But anyways, So...like I said I need your help to make the code, I dont need you to give it to me.

BTW, nice pic frame, it looks alright, but I prefer more colour.

OK heres a colour picker, just hover the mouse over the colour you like and the corresponding number appears in the top left corner.
It's also an example of how to use a for statement and move something across the screen.

Turing:

View.Set ("graphics:755,120,offscreenonly") var xm, ym, bm : int for i : 1 .. 255     Draw.ThickLine (i * 3 - 1, 0, i * 3 - 1, 100, 3, i) end for loop     Mouse.Where (xm, ym, bm)     locate (1, 1)     put View.WhatDotColour (xm, ym)     View.Update     exit when hasch end loop

[hotsnow]

OMG thank you Bean, that was so much help! Its very cool how is shows the colour and it's number on the top, very, very helpful. Atleast now I know what colour to choose ratherthen choosing random numbers.THANX AGAIN =D
