[MOUSECORD]

[aside]

whatdotcolour if a funtion that will return a value of the colour somehwere on the screen. the coordinates you put in has to be less than maxx and maxy.
ex:

code:

var col, mx, my, mb:int loop mousewhere (mx, my, mb) locate (1, 1) put whatdotcolour (mx, my) end loop

this will return the colour where the mouse is

[MOUSECORD]

is there a way to make it like ... lets say...

If thisline goes over this color then
score:=score+100
end if

i kno that makes nos esnes and its in like english not programming but do u see where i'm coming from....

[aside]

you need a value to draw the line in the first place right? suppose the coordinates is (x2, y2) use:

code:

if whatdotcolour (x2, y2)= (the colour you want as an integer) then score+=100 end if

check it after each time you change the value of x2, y2

also, if you pm dodge_tomahawk, he would love to tell you everything about whatdotcolour and every other thing that you don't need to know.

I want to make it so when i click a oval expands then implodes... back to 0 in a procedure... got ne ideas... without using a loop...

[aside]

you can use a for loop, and use the variable (usu. i) to determine the radii of the oval

~or as what mr mackenzie taught to use a boolean function~

this would be easier if i wasn't sucha noob eh... *over head*

[aside]

so.... what are you trying to do again?

[MOUSECORD]

this is what i have...

code:

procedure mouse    var mousex, mousey, button : int     mousewhere (mousex, mousey, button)     if button = 1 then                 drawoval (mousex, mousey, 25, 25, 13)                     end if end mouse loop cls mouse delay(25) View.Update end loop

see how when you click it kinda just... draws a circle... well i want it go start from where u click and expand to 25... then implode back to 0... u see??? but i need it to not be in a loop because it will get trapped in it... i need it in a procedure or something you know... i have a loop at the end of my game... and i guess i could make some in a procedure then put rest in that loop... i don't know do you get what i'm saying??

[aside]

so.... ? i'm not sure about no looping part, that's not my strong point.

code:

var mousex, mousey, button : int loop     mousewhere (mousex, mousey, button)     if button = 1 then     for i:1..25             drawoval (mousex, mousey, i, i, 13)             View.Update             delay (10)             cls     end for     for decreasing i:25..1             drawoval (mousex, mousey, i, i, 13)        View.Update         delay (10)         cls     end for             end if end loop

[MOUSECORD]

acually nvm i think i got it dude... lol nice i made it go up but now i gotta make it go back down see look

code:

procedure mouse    var mousex, mousey, button : int     mousewhere (mousex, mousey, button)     if button = 1 then         for rad: 1..25     cls         drawoval (mousex, mousey, rad, rad, 13)     delay(25)        end for                end if end mouse loop cls mouse delay(25) View.Update end loop

ne ideas....

[MOUSECORD]

nvm i got it LOL!!! OMFG I"M GOD YO

[SuperGenius]

aside has got it, you need a decreasing for loop after the first for loop.
