Sprites in turing!!

[munt4life]

Does anyone have a sample code of how i can move a sprite, ive been trying forever and have been confused

[tyuo9980]

well assign it a x and y coord and modify them according to which keypress.

[munt4life]

i tried something like


var x := Pic.FileNew("left1.bmp")

var chars : array char of boolean
loop
Input.KeyDown (chars)
if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then
x:=x+5
end if
if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then
x:=x-5
end if
Pic.Draw(x,100,50,picMerge)
delay(10)
cls

end loop

That's not quite how it works.

Turing:

var x := Pic.FileNew("left1.bmp")

That's assigning x to that picture's ID. Its not the number you want to adjust. Instead, assign the 100 to x. 100 is the x position, which im assuming you're trying to change.

ok so if i assign x to 100, how would the picture move?
do i say left1.bmp :=left1.bmp+5 or something of that sort

You "move" the picture by drawing it in a different spot. Please read the documentation (and examples used) -- Pic.FileNew, Pic.Draw
