platformer problem

[slender0123]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
make my text from a .txt appear on screen as the platforms

What is the problem you are having?
not appearing

Turing:

const Gravity := 2 var x, y := 100 var y_velocity := 0 var keys : array char of boolean var tiles : array 0..35, 0..35 of int setscreen ("offscreenonly,graphics:500;500") var cheese : char var FileName : string := "textmap1.txt" var FileNo : int open : FileNo, FileName, get for decreasing y2 : 35 .. 0   for x2 : 0..35     get : FileNo, cheese      tiles (x2, y2) := ord (cheese)   end for end for close (FileNo) for x2 : 0 .. 35 for y2 : 0 .. 35 if tiles (x2, y2) = 1 then    Draw.FillBox (x2*10, y2*10, x2 * 10 + 10, y2 * 10 + 10, red) end if end for end for loop     Input.KeyDown (keys)     if keys (KEY_UP_ARROW) and y <= 0 then         y_velocity := 30     end if     if keys (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) and x > 0 then         x -= 5     end if     if keys (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) and x < maxx then         x+= 5     end if             y_velocity -= Gravity      y += y_velocity      if y < 0 then          y := 0         y_velocity := 0     end if               Draw.FillOval(x,y,15,15,blue)     View.Update     delay (20)     cls end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1 im pretty sure

where do you actually draw the text from the file?

too be brutily honist, I really dont know lmao, im 100% new to this, I thought a little to big for my first thing to make, but, I gotta learn somehow lol.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting the text from the file, i just need to get it drawn.

What is your screen but a 2D array of pixels? It's no different than your 35x35 array of text.

Split your screen into 35x35 segments, and draw each platform in the corresponding slot.

That would take a lot of coding though, would it not?

Not at all! Look into case statements, if you haven't already, and you should be able to paint the map in a decent amount of lines. Post your code here if you want and we can tell you how it is.

Something like this:

case (character in your .txt) of:

a: draw ...;
b: draw ...;
c: draw ...;

end case

Or, if youre using pictures rather than single pixels/characters, you could name your files exactly what they'd be in the .txt + the bmp, and then use this:

for ...

drawpic(text(i) + ".bmp", ...)

end for

Sorry for the lazy coding/examples, I'm just getting off to bed now, and I don't feel like doing this all properly, but you should get the idea and be able to come up with the code yourself.

Good luck!

Turing:

for i : 1 .. 35    for j : 1 .. 35       pic (i, j) = Pic.FIleNew (strint (tiles (i, j)) + ".jpg")    end for end for for i : 1 .. 35    for j : 1 .. 35       Pic.Draw (i * picWidth, j * picHeight, picCopy, pic (i, j)    end for end for

If you have tile pictures named the same as the numbers in the text file, it should be fine. Or if you dont want to use pictures, just take the second part of my example and replace it with Draw.FIllBox or something
