Help! i can't figure out how to use loop!

[bvbjules13]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Im trying to move my box across the screen using loop


What is the problem you are having?
I've looked at many examples and i don't seem to be able to grasp how to get my box to move across the screen (just the box, not one gigantic line, i need to get my box to move from one end to the other using loop)



Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

already tried, cant seem to figure it out

Turing:

var x, y : int := 0 loop     x += 1     y += 1     put "x: ", x, " y: ", y     Time.Delay (500) end loop

Run it. What's it doing? How does it apply to your problem?

[QuantumPhysics]

As clayton said to add in you just insert a View.update to fix the buffer every time the hWND proc changes and draw a shape and insert the x += 1 and loop it causing the x position of the box to change every time

[Insectoid]

Clayton didn't say that, and View.Update() isn't necessary for this problem. It will just confuse OP more.

And what the heck is a hWND proc?

[QuantumPhysics]

hWND proc is the run-time window as referenced in win32 API. Turing was not written in the C~ family?

Like C Dialog based API:

cplusplus:

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow) {         WNDCLASS wnd;         MSG msg;         HWND hwndScreen;         HWND hwndValue;         hInstance = hInst; }

It's the define for the main window. All arguments reference back to it.


OP - DONT mind this post.
