ohhhh, lmao. When I tested my game, I kept dieing, so i put it in 'god mode' and i forgot to take it off, i'll fix it later and add another post

[Mr. Gruntsworthy]

I haven't gotten around to downloading the new version, but let me know when you get the debugged version

[xHoly-Divinity]

ALL BUGS FIXED.... god mode is fixed, and collisions are a bit more accurate

P.s. thanks for feedback

[uberwalla]

ok now this is better
w/o god mode it still runs smoothly and looks pretty good.

i suggestion to add:
even though it would be adding a bunch of code add that u only have a certain amount of ammunition
and have amunition boxes drop from the sky or just have it reset each round, and as it gets harder give more. and if u dont put ammo boxes just make it so once u got none ur done.

lol anyways good job i love it

I know that this revelation ive come upon doesnt fit with this topic, but it's related because it made me realize.

The reason codes like C++ are good for writing games isn't just because it gets down and dirty with the hardware, but because it's modular and works in functions, with some modules calling on others.... whereas in turing, the code is executed line by line, and only continues on after the previous line has been executed....

u got the main point dude

[Mr. Gruntsworthy]

hooray for learning... I think im getting this at a quick pace considering ive only started a few weeks ago

I'm hard pressed to find a language that does not execute code line-by-line. Turing also includes procedures, which is basically what you are describing. The only languages that don't really flow are ones with the goto statement, which makes me shudder and feel cold inside when I think about it.

[Mr. Gruntsworthy]

yeah, but i thought C++ executes in modules, each one running ready to be called on?

[Raugrist]

mr. gruntsworthy can u exlpain what that means even ?

im not sure i get it still..

[Mr. Gruntsworthy]

erm, lets see if i can supply an explanation... You see, Turing executes line by line, down the program, where as you have modules, or functions as they're called, that as long as they aren't part of another function (ie. the main() function) they execute in parallell with other stand alone functions.

or, at least, thats how i think it works.... im still a noob at programming, so...

[Raugrist]

not quite

in both languages, the code is executed line by line (actaully, in all languages lol)

the only way u can make them execute in parallel is if ur using processes or threads. i don think turing supports threads tho, and proceses aren't always a good idea. that's what my teacher tells me ne ways

Correct.

Procedures, as I recall. Could be wrong on this one though.

Wrong. They are called and the calling procedure waits for them to complete before moving on. Though there are various libraries out there that allow for multi-threading which somewhat describes what you are talking about. Pthreads, anyone?

[xHoly-Divinity]

Then you have something like assembly language..... I've never seen such a complicated (and yet it is actually the simplist, just confusing to use) language in my life!!!

id have to say "not quite" back to you.

java goes all at once not line by line. if it went line by line then u wouldnt be able to have procedures at the very end of the program and have them execute at the top. in java they can be anywhere so its not totally line by line, yet at same time it is. its argueable lets leave it at that.
