Background help

[CSC]

Hey guys, this is the first time for me on this site and its pretty cool. Can anyone tell me how to put a normal picture background on my program for turing? thanks you.

You mean how to load a picture from a file? Just make a variable of where you are going to store your picture and then make that variable equal Pic.FileNew (yourpicture). It would look like this:

Turing:

var picture : int := Pic.FileNew ("C:/Documents and Settings/blah blah blah where your picture is")

And whenever you want to draw your picture just put:

Turing:

Pic.Draw (picture, x, y, picCopy) % Replace x and y with the coordinates and you can change picCopy to other things for different effects. Look up Pic.Draw in Turing's help

you will then need Pic.Draw

well, upload a pic as a background for my program and the program should should work with the background. how do u do tht.

[Pwah]

code:

var picBackGround : int picBackGround := Pic.FileNew ("yourimage.bmp") Pic.Draw (picBackGround, 0, 0, picMerge)

note that yourimage.bmp for this code is located in the same folder as the .t program file.

They seem to pretty much cover what you need but for any other help try this tutorial on pictures.
