hey guys i need to know how to do the following:
make an oval(sun/moon) move across the screen
make smoke that comes out of a chimny

[Geminias]

To move oval across the screen:

code:

setscreen ("graphics:max,max,offscreenonly") for i : 1 .. maxx   drawfilloval (i, 100 , 50 , 50, 13)   View.Update   delay (15)   cls end for

[/code]

omg thx now i just need smoke

[Geminias]

smoke is pretty easy too, but you have to know how to import pictures. What you do is you get two pictures of billowing smoke, or just use the spray can in paint.

then you take the pictures making sure they each have different particle patterns and you import them into your program. And make them show up, one after the other in a continous loop, so it will appear to be billowing smoke lol.

if you can't import pictures either view the tutorial section, or ask me i'll give you a list of the functions you'll need, but i wont code it all for you.

var row, column : int
var x : int
x := 1
loop
setscreen ("graphics:max,max")
colorback (black)
setscreen ("graphics:max,max,offscreenonly")

for i : 1 .. maxx
drawfilloval (i, 300, 40, 40, white)

delay (10)
cls



%---------------------------------------------------Stars begin


delay (200)
randint (row, 1, 20)
randint (column, 1, 158)
locate (row, column)
color (white)
put "*"
%----------------------------------------------------Stars end


% x1 y1 x2 y2 color
Draw.FillBox (150, 50, 400, 250, brightred) %Main house box
Draw.FillBox (501, 50, 620, 150, brightgreen) %Garage
Draw.FillBox (520, 50, 601, 140, brightblue) %Garage Door
Draw.FillBox (350, 140, 300, 170, yellow) %Main house window Right side
Draw.FillBox (200, 140, 250, 170, yellow) %Main house window Left side


end for


end loop

THAT IS WHAT i have now but i cant get the moon to go over the house can u guys look and see if u can get the moon to go over like a real moon

[Geminias]

wow man.. you always declare your setscreen function first, and you only need one. If you use the "offscreenonly" option it will make all the adjustments off screen and you can only see the new version if you use the View.Update command. So if you run that code, you will see nothing.

The advantage of "offscreenonly" is it makes objects move smoothly across the screen rather than having them flicker like pure "cls"ing would do.

Read the tutorials and get a better feel for the turing language before you start asking all kinds of questions. And also, ask questions in the "Turing help" section, not here.

ok then how can i make my moon arc across the screen then?

[dani190]

also View.Update will not work i get an error called update is not in the export list of view

[zylum]

wtf? why is this in tutorials? should be in turing help... too bad i cant move threads

[dani190]

cant you just help i cant move it either but i really need help man plz help guys

[dani190]

help plz

[codemage]

make sure you have View.Update capitalized as shown here.

Arcing is probably beyond your ability.

Work on getting the chimney to go. You can probably make a few grey circles clumped together to simulate smoke. Then use the same technique you used to move the moon across.

Here is your code with some of your errors removed, and View.Update in the right spot. Try to fix it from here.

code:

setscreen ("graphics:max,max,offscreenonly") var row, column : int var x : int := 1 colorback (black) loop     for i : 1 .. maxx         cls         drawfilloval (i, 300, 40, 40, white)         %---------------------------------------------------Stars begin         delay (200)         randint (row, 1, 20)         randint (column, 1, maxcol)         locate (row, column)         color (white)         put "*"         %----------------------------------------------------Stars end         % x1 y1 x2 y2 color         Draw.FillBox (150, 50, 400, 250, brightred) %Main house box         Draw.FillBox (501, 50, 620, 150, brightgreen) %Garage         Draw.FillBox (520, 50, 601, 140, brightblue) %Garage Door         Draw.FillBox (350, 140, 300, 170, yellow) %Main house window Right side         Draw.FillBox (200, 140, 250, 170, yellow) %Main house window Left side         View.Update         delay (5)     end for end loop
