Moving a Sprite Across a Screen.

[DanTheMan]

What is it you are trying to achieve?

Moving a graphic shape across the screen, starting at the right edge and moving left.


What is the problem you are having?

I have absolutely no experience in moving sprites.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem

I have tried to modify an example program from my teacher, but it wasn't working out.

Please specify what version of Turing you are using


4.1.1, like they're making any other version at the moment

--------------------------

Okay, I have used the template. Can anyone help me on this?

i had a few problems with this too, check this out

those two guys really helped me out, they might help you out too :p

[DanTheMan]

Yeah, except this isn't exactly as complicated as what you were trying to accomplish. We are doing things in units, so once I get it to go right to left, we then have to make it bounce back and forth, and then make two of them bounce off each other, then make something happen when they collide.

It gets more and more complicated, but not really as complicated. I am in grade ten comp science.

[Tallguy]

do you want to move by themselves or have the user move them?

[DanTheMan]

I can make them moe using the keyboard, but I'm tryig to get it to move by itself.

[Tallguy]

this is a really bad code for doing it, but its something like this

Turing:

View.Set ("graphics:700;500, offscreenonly") var x, x2, y, y2 : int x := 10 x2 := 50 y := 690 y2 := 650 loop     x := x + 10     x2 := x2 + 10     drawfillbox (x - 10, 10, x2, 50, white)     drawfillbox (x, 10, x2, 50, black)     y := y - 10     y2 := y2 - 10     drawfillbox (y + 10, 10, y2, 50, white)     drawfillbox (y, 10, y2, 50, purple)     if y = x then         drawfilloval (maxx div 2, 10, 100, 100, yellow)         exit     end if     delay (50)     View.Update end loop

this is just to get them to move, and that is a terrible way of doing collision detection, but then again i'm not doing your hwk for you

Not that I encourage this but check out the submissions section and look for Ball Bounce it should help you

Don't steal the work though.

[DanTheMan]

Naw, I'm no plagirist. If I was to borrow that collision code, I would get permission and give proper creds

But I was thinking of borrowing that code, I found it intriguing.

Also Tallguy, I don't expect you to do my homework for me

Ps. Thanks for the code though!

[DanTheMan]

Sorry for the bump, but I need to use a sprite to move left to right. I was able to move a sprite using the arrow keys, but not on it's own. Any suggestions?

Can we see your code?
