Request a Tutorial

It's already been done:

http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=5730&highlight=fps+frame+rate
http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=7393&highlight=fps+frame+rate

If some of these don't already output the frame rate they can be very easily modified to do so.

Gandalf how do you find these? I ran about 10 searches and all that comes up is stickies and the same crap I've read a hundred times thanks though

Search the "Turing Tutorials" forums by topic and use keywords "FPS frame rate", as you can see at the end of each link I posted.

No problem.

for loops and locate function for making it move along the screen by itself


for statement
put "W"
locate (1, +[var used in for statement]
end for

if you want to move it across the screen with keys look for a game that has been already made and use that code as a template.

A tutorial request:
making a coutndown timer that you can enter a date and it would save it and count down from then untill the time reaches 0 and then it deletes the saved date.

umm... im kinda new to turing and i look forward to using it for my math and stuff. But i need to know how to put in a scroll bar in the prgramme cuz i cant see what my prog has outputted in all =)

Look into View.Set in the Turing help. You will want to set it to either "text" or "screen" output.

Are you supposed to reimplement the fill function?

Well honestly not too sure, teach just said, draw trapezoid, fill it, oh and you can't use the fill command...Thanks for the link though, gonna check it out.

[DtY]

Oh, if you just need to draw a filled trapezoid, you can use the primitive shape drawing commands, a trapezoid is just two triangles and a rectangle.

[DemonWasp]

...or just the two triangles.

Hey, Im wondering if someone can make a sprites tutorial because im having trouble with that command.
