i need help moving it

[computer_killer]

what is the code for moving an object? im doing frogger for a class project.

[Delos]

None exists.

If you want to move an object/picture on the other hand, there are numerous ways of doing it, the most common being that one uses variable x-coord and y-coord values, and in some sort of loop systematically change them.

Post your code:
- we'll get a better idea of where you are
- you'll more precise help

code:

Object.move(newLocation)

now that's assuming that your object has a working move method.

Tony: And that the object moves in a one dimensional plane

You probably won't have an object, per se, as you're working in Turing. You will probably have a bunch of variables that you clump together to store information about your "object".
When you draw your object on the screen, you'll be using (most likely, as Delos pointed out) two variables, x and y. That is, your Draw command will use these two variables. Thus, changing these variables will change the location of the "object", making it "move".

If you want to be able to move the "object" in one line, you'll have to make a procedure (like what Tony was getting at):

code:

procedure MoveObject (newX, newY : int)   objectX := newX   objectY := newY end MoveObject MoveObject (100, 148)

Not if newLocation is a datatype that includes more than one dimention Notice how I haven't specified that it's

code:

3Dpoint newLocation = new 3Dpoint(x,y,z)

Somehow, when I posted that comment, I knew you were going to comeback with some computer kung-fu science and prove me wrong.
Bah!
I think we should be keeping things simpler than that, in this thread.

[Tony]

fair enough. And it's kung-foo
so..

code:

var x : int := 0 loop     x += 5 %move 5 pixels to the right     Draw.FillBox (x, 100, x + 5, 105, blue)     delay (20)     cls     exit when x >= maxx %reached the end of the screen end loop
