Since you have a fairly simple background, I would suggesting using colorback() to set the background to black and then load in the star picture overtop of the background. Then you move the x and y values of the stars instead of the whole background. When a star goes off the screen, its x values is restarted back to x (just and idea). This should work if you keep the background simple, and a uniform color. It's looking good, eager to see final program!

I fixed some of your code and implemented my idea with comments. I didnt really get what you did in the second attachment so i edited the first one. If you dont understand anything please let me know and ill explain it. And if you dont like the idea w/e, its all good.

hey okay well i think i figured this things out, but problem is the rocks that come every time are in the exact same place :S cuz the x and y values are the same, so i decided to put a random number from a specific range for each of the values, but the problem is that they come in random places only once i start the game. if you can plz check the code again and tell me how i can fix this i would apreciate it greatly

just add the radmoizing code in the ifs where u check if the rock whent off the screen.

Ex.

code:

if boulder1X + boulderWidth <= 0 then
boulder1X := maxx
randint (boulder1Y, 250, 350)
else
...........

i'm so happy i'm almost done my game, and i somehow by some miracle made the whatdotcolor work during my computer class. the only problem is now that the detection is not very great, and sometimes it doesn't stop. i think the problem is that i can't match the red color in turing with the red color in paint. but this is just a guess. could someone plz try my game out and tell me how i can make the whatdotcolor better.

ps. guruguru i couldn't take the space thing out :S it was just too hard lol and i'm scared to make the program shorter cuz it mite not work normally anymore lol. i know i know it sounds very noobish Sad

yagyb: PM me the code and I'll see what I can do. When I was fiddling with your prog I took the space out but I deleted the file... I'll take it out for you.

everyone else: No I am not doing his project for him so dont start flaming me. I'm merely helping him out.
