need help with a "replay" button and a "next level" button

[Justinr666]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
im trying to have so that when you crash, instead of the game exiting, you get a message asking to try again, and also, when you complete the level, a way for you to go onto the second level


What is the problem you are having?
im not that good with turing code, so i cant figure out how to do it, or even how to start


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
ive tried one example i found on here for a retry buttons, but had no luck getting it to work with my game


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

var checkLeft, checkRight, checkUp, checkDown : boolean := false var x, xp1, xp2, xp3, xp4, xp5 : int := 345 var y, yp1, yp2, yp3, yp4, yp5 : int := 210 var wacky : int var chars : array char of boolean View.Set ("offscreenonly") wacky := Pic.FileNew ("Wacky Background.jpg") loop Pic.Draw (wacky, 0, 0, picCopy)     if x > maxx - 2 then         exit     elsif x < 2 then         exit     end if     if y > maxy - 2 then         exit     elsif y < 2 then         exit     end if     drawline (0, 0, 0, 399, 7)     drawline (0, 0, 639, 0, 7)     drawline (0, 399, 639, 399, 7)     drawline (639, 0, 639, 399, 7)     drawline (50, 50, 150, 50, 3)     drawline (50, 50, 50, 150, 3)     drawline (50, 150, 150, 150, 3)     drawline (150, 150, 150, 50, 3)     Input.KeyDown (chars)     if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) and checkUp = true then         xp1 := x         xp2 := x         yp1 := y         yp2 := y - 5         y := y + 5         checkLeft := false         checkRight := false         checkDown := false     end if     if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) and checkRight = true then         yp1 := y         yp2 := y         xp1 := x         xp2 := x - 5         x := x + 5         checkLeft := false         checkUp := false         checkDown := false     end if     if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) and checkLeft = true then         yp1 := y         yp2 := y         xp1 := x         xp2 := x + 5         x := x - 5         checkRight := false         checkUp := false         checkDown := false     end if     if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) and checkDown = true then         xp1 := x         xp2 := x         yp1 := y         yp2 := y + 5         y := y - 5         checkLeft := false         checkUp := false         checkRight := false     end if     if x > 49 and x < 151 and y > 49 and y < 151 then         exit     end if     drawfilloval (x, y, 4, 4, blue)     drawfilloval (xp1, yp1, 4, 4, blue)     drawfilloval (xp2, yp2, 4, 4, blue)     delay (30) View.Update     cls     checkDown := true     checkUp := true     checkRight := true     checkLeft := true end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
turing 4.1.1

You have it set up so that your gameplay loop exits when you collide with something. You want to do that multiple times, assuming that the user chooses to continue. What does that sound like?

A loop. Put another loop around your existing loop. After your existing loop, have something that asks about whether the player wants to try again, and if not, exits the outer loop. Otherwise, just let it loop back up to the start of your "gameplay loop".

im not sure i quite understand what you mean.. i thought i did have it so it exits after each collison.. ill paste the collsion part of my code again..

% collision detection for the box obsticle
if x > maxx - 2 then
exit
elsif x < 2 then
exit
end if
if y > maxy - 2 then
exit
elsif y < 2 then
exit
end if
-----------------------------
% when you hit the box, the game exits
if x > 49 and x < 151 and y > 49 and y < 151 then
exit
end if

The collision part of your code is fine.

What DemonWasp meant was that in order to get the entire game to repeat itself (the stuff inside your current loop), you should add a second loop around the other one, in which you will ask the user if they want to play again.

By having this second loop with the play again option, when your main game loop exits, there is another loop which keeps the program going and asks if they would like to play again. If they answer no, you exit the second loop. Otherwise, you let the loop keep going, and it brings you back to the start and into your main game loop again.

For example

Turing:

loop     loop         %Game code         exit when gamefinish = true     end loop     put "Continue?"     if answer = 'y' then         %Reset code     elsif answer = 'n' then         exit     end if end loop

oh, ok, thank you, i understand now

[Justinr666]

so i have a new problem, i have a picture for my title screen with text over it, but where ever the text is, is a ugly white box behind it, so i was wondering if there was a way to make it so the text displays directly over the picture with no white box behind it?

Use Font.Draw instead of put statements. You can look up how to use it in the Turing Walkthrough or in the documentation (F9) or http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/.
