Gotta Question

Nope, because the number you set is already an integer type, not a real type.

Instead of var integerNumber : int, you want var realNumber : real. Classify it as a real, not an int.

ohhhhhh.... OMG thank you soo much.. im gunna try it now i hope it works

[Dazzle]

ok so.. i get it but its not working :/ heres the code im working with

code:

loop     reDraw     Input.KeyDown (key)     if key ('a') and tiles (px - 1, py) = 0 then      var player_movement : real :=0.25         px -=player_movement Pic.Draw (wizard3 ,px * 32, py * 32,0)         View.Update     end if     if key ('d') and tiles (px + 1, py) = 0 then         movement Pic.Draw (wizard1 ,px * 32, py * 32,0)         View.Update     end if     if key('s') and tiles (px , py - 1) = 0 then         movement Pic.Draw (wizard2 ,px * 32, py * 32,0)         View.Update         end if     if key ('w') and tiles (px , py + 1) = 0 then         movement Pic.Draw (wizard0 ,px * 32, py * 32,0)         View.Update     end if      delay (50) end loop

Got any ideas??

code:

var player_movement : real :=0.25         px -=player_movement

That takes care of the first of four steps, but currently you have no way of remembering that those steps began to happen. When should you do the second 0.25?

[Dazzle]

after payer_movement..

like this?????

px -=player_movement : real:=0.25

I don't understand what you mean.

But unlike many other subjects, the awesome part about CS is that you can actually just try things out and see what the compiler thinks about it!

yea.. lol i did try. ;p .. but here ill ask agan how can i move by pixels not tiles?

[Insectoid]

code:

Pic.Draw (wizard1 ,px * 32, py * 32,0)

As long as you're drawing to px*32, py*32, you will not be able to move by pixels.

quarter-tile steps are fine -- e.g. round(0.25 * 32). But there needs to be a mechanism to remember to take the other 3 steps during the following game frames.

could you possible make a snippet for the mechanisim
