here is what i have so far

code:

var x,y : int x:=100 y:=100 var chars : array char of boolean loop Input.KeyDown (chars) if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then y:=y+5 end if if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then x:=x+5 end if if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then x:=x-5 end if if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then y:=y-5 end if drawoval(x,y,4,4,red) delay(10) cls end loop

You need to tell us what it is that you need help with.

i dont know how to put a car into this to make it move

[Tony]

so just draw the car instead of that circle... you have the proper X/Y coordinates

[crash0414]

i tried that but it didnt work right

supposing that you had a picture called car.jpg stored in the same folder as your program:

code:

var picID: int picID := Pic.FileNew("car.jpg") Pic.Draw(picID,0,0,picCopy)

this draws the picture with the bottom left corner at (0,0)

i dont want to have a picture of a car, i need to draw a car, but everytime a draw a car in this it always messes up

no dying to live is a friend of mine..were in the same class

well if you don't want a picture of a car what I suggest you do is to draw it in turing and then use Pic.New to convert your image into a picture, which makes it a lot simpler to move around the screen.

i have a car made now and it will move around but now i am just having troubles getting a background..i dont know how, everytime i try the screen just flashes

[crash0414]

does any1 know how to do this?

[HyperFlexed]

for flashing, put the following at the beginning of your code (after your vars I guess)

code:

View.Set ("offscreenonly")

when you draw an object with turing, it won't go right to the screen now, it stores everything you draw in a buffer. You can load the buffer onto the screen by calling

View.Update

that helps with flickering


As well, when drawing the car with shapes, the trick is to know where all the shapes are in relativity to your x and y variables. It helps me sometimes to draw out stuff like this (make a dot for x and y, and then see where the other objects are relative to the x,y position)

i dont care about the flashing..i need help making a background into this

[myob]

u gonna be more specific, what do you mean by saying "making a background into this"? do you want to put a background in ur program or what?
