Turing:

<%setscreen ("graphics") var jump : int := 20 var gravity : int := 1 var key : array char of boolean var x, y : int var vel : real var timer : int var platform : int var p1x : int var p2x : int x := 20 y := 400 p1x := 700 p2x := 700 vel := 0 timer := 50 platform := Rand.Int(1, 2) View.Set ("offscreenonly") loop     Input.KeyDown (key)     if key (KEY_UP_ARROW) and y = 50 then         vel := jump     end if     vel -= gravity     y += round (vel)     if y < 50 then         y := 50         vel := 0     end if     Draw.FillBox (x, y, x + 20, y + 40, blue)     Draw.FillBox (0, 0, maxx, 50, black)     if x >= p1x - 1 and x <= p1x + 100 and y = 100             then         x -= 7     else         x += 1     end if     if timer <= 50 then timer += 1 else platform := Rand.Int (1, 2) timer := 0 end if     if platform = 1 then         Draw.FillBox (p1x, 50, p1x + 100, 100, black)         p1x -= 7         if x + 20 >= p1x - 1 and x <= p1x + 100 and y < 100 then             x -= 7         end if         if x >= p1x and x <= p1x + 100 and y < 100 then             y := 100             vel := 0             if key (KEY_UP_ARROW) and y = 100 then                 vel := jump             end if         end if     elsif platform = 2 then         Draw.FillBox (p2x, 50, p2x + 50, 150, black)         p2x -= 7         if x + 20 >= p2x - 1 and x <= p2x + 50 and y < 150 then             x -= 7         end if         if x >= p2x and x <= p2x + 50 and y < 150 then             y := 150             vel := 0             if key (KEY_UP_ARROW) and y = 150 then                 vel := jump             end if         end if     end if     View.Update     delay (30)     cls end loop>

You will have to explain your problem better then this if you expect to get any help. I dont understand what you are having a problem with.

Im sorry, it glitched out when I posted it, basically I have been making a game ment to run, and get as far as you can on a conveyor belt, with out going off either edge of the screen. Right now im working on getting it to randomly generate platforms and obstacles, there are only two right now. The problem is it will generate an object, but then the object will go across the screen a bit, and dissapear, then another one of a different type will appear and start going across, when this happens it will then dissapear, and the other one continues from where it stopped, and it continues on like this, and after those two dissapear completely it wont generate any more. Can I have a bit of help?

Well the reason why your game is only drawing one of the boxes is because you choose to make it draw only one. after 50 loops from your timer you have set platform to be 1 or 2.

then in your if condition you state if platform is equal to 1 then draw platform1 if platform is equal to 2 then draw platform2. You dont have and option to draw both. you have chosen to make it only one or the other.

[solarsparten]

Yeah, but I told it if it = platform 1 from the random thing, then to makethat platform move across the screen, but I need to figure out how to make it continously choose one, move it, then to do it again

[copthesaint]

look at where your code is to draw the box. then you should again look at my previous post.
