HELP! ANIMATED WALKIN STICK!

[MysticVegeta]

Hi I am currently doing my TIK project in the high school. And my animation requires a walking stick figure. Can someone kindly tell me the code of walking stick animation (right to left)
Help will be appreciated. Thanks

well you draw your stickman using lines... then you draw the next frame a little bit to the left, and continue doing so to make it look like an animation.

if you're smart enough, you can figure out the pattern and actually put those few frames inside a forloop, so you dont have to type out the same thing over and over again..

kind of like motion tweening in Flash

Thanks very much, but can someone show me a working example.. like can someone make a small one for me so that i will get an idea.
Thanks

[Tony]

sure, here's one

[MysticVegeta]

um... thanks but in turing not in flash. If i use flash, my teacher will kill me!

Yes it's in Flash, but it's the same idea.

Basically you'll be using lots of drawoval()s and drawline()s.

code:

drawoval (100, 100, 20, 20, 7) drawline (100, 80, 100, 20, 7)

And so on and so forth. You might want to move the lines seperatly, or create a number of frames first, take a picture of them, and then replay those over and over.

hey thanks... i made one, it is not that good but i think it will work

code:

for x : 0 .. 500 by 25     %Head     drawfilloval (489 - x, 295, 10, 10, 7)     drawfilloval (514 - x, 295, 10, 10, 0)     %open legs     drawline (500 - x, 285, 479 - x, 265, 7)     drawline (500 - x, 285, 520 - x, 270, 7)     delay (50)     drawline (479 - x, 275, 479 - x, 255, 7)     drawline (504 - x, 275, 504 - x, 255, 0)     drawfillbox (478 - x, 265, 521 - x, 285, white)     %open hands     drawline (500 - x, 245, 479 - x, 225, 7)     drawline (500 - x, 245, 520 - x, 230, 7)     delay (50)     drawfillbox (478 - x, 225, 521 - x, 245, white)     %closed legs     drawline (475 - x, 285, 474 - x, 265, 7)     drawline (475 - x, 285, 477 - x, 265, 7)     delay (50)     drawline (479 - x, 275, 479 - x, 255, 7)     drawline (504 - x, 275, 504 - x, 255, 0)     drawfillbox (453 - x, 265, 496 - x, 285, white)     %closed hands     drawline (475 - x, 245, 474 - x, 225, 7)     drawline (475 - x, 245, 477 - x, 225, 7)     delay (50)     drawline (479 - x, 275, 479 - x, 255, 7)     drawline (504 - x, 275, 504 - x, 255, 0)     drawfillbox (453 - x, 225, 496 - x, 245, white) end for

I liked that idea more for mine.

code:

% Title: Animated Stick Man % Author: Chris Waddilove % Purpose: BONUS:  Create a walking stickman going back and forth across the screen.  The smoother the animation, the better the bonus mark setscreen ("graphics:800;155,nobuttonbar") var fr1, fr2 : int % Frame 1 Draw.Line (10, 1, 25, 50, 255) Draw.Line (40, 1, 25, 50, 255) Draw.Line (25, 50, 25, 100, 255) Draw.Line (10, 75, 40, 100, 255) Draw.FillOval (25, 125, 25, 25, 255) fr1 := Pic.New (0, 0, 125, 150) Draw.Cls % Frame 2 Draw.Line (25, 1, 25, 50, 255) Draw.Line (25, 1, 25, 50, 255) Draw.Line (25, 50, 25, 100, 255) Draw.Line (10, 100, 40, 75, 255) Draw.FillOval (25, 125, 25, 25, 255) fr2 := Pic.New (0, 0, 125, 150) Draw.Cls loop     for i : 0 .. 750 by 25         Pic.Draw (fr1, i, 0, picCopy)         Time.Delay (100)         Pic.Draw (fr2, i, 0, picCopy)         Time.Delay (100)         Draw.Cls     end for     for decreasing i : 750 .. 0 by 25         Pic.Draw (fr1, i, 0, picCopy)         Time.Delay (100)         Pic.Draw (fr2, i, 0, picCopy)         Time.Delay (100)         Draw.Cls     end for end loop

Ive done the stick man.. since im not at school to gett the code.. i will put it up when im at school next look for a Stickman with a shopping cart.. it took about 4000 lines of code thou'

lol stickmen in turing are so much fun to watch move across the screen. good job ppl!

If you wanted to make life easy you could just draw all the frames in paint and save them and just use the pic draw commands. Dunno if the teacher would like that but it would make it eayer to do. Insted of having to draw all the lines over and over it would just be one command in a loop. Just a thought.
