hey newby to turing Some of my work

[duelpoint]

hey guys my first cs class in like 2 weeks i am in grade 10 and i thought i would get a head start cuz i 2 hard subjects nex sem so it would help me alot if u can see some of my work and see and point out my errors
i did around 5 projects and heres the codes
this is my latest one i was bored i think i should have used the loop but not sure

code:

var name : string var text2 : string var text : string put "Hello, whats your name ?" get name put "Hello ", name ,"do you like music? y/n" get text if text = "y" then put "Here's my music and tell me if its good? okay" play ("<+A")         play (">8fdyjasgf")         play ("<<1-a-b-c-d")         play (">8sldyhlashdlkjashdasdkkkk")         play ("<>8adcgagggb-b-a")         play ("<>8asasjkjslkajsghdsksgadhkasdgfghdsfkkjashgdsgadhgkshfhgsfdhgkjas>jgasdasfdjhdgasdkashgdjgasdgklkasfdgaskd")       put "could you tell me if it was good or bad? by saying good/bad? i get confused when you use big words :P"     get text2     if text2 = "good" then     put "Thank you very much ", name," i am sure u are a good music composer too we should write a duet some time"     end if     if text2 = "bad" then     put "well i bet you dont even know how to read music pshh what would a loser like you know about music"     end if     else     put "I asked if my music is good or bad not if it was amazing or horrible... dont be a smarty pants and use big words"                  end if

this was the first program i wrote ( was so happy)

code:

var name : string put "What is your name?" get name put "Hello ", name , "!" var age : string put "How old are you" get age put"I dont care how old you are ", name,"!" var Placewhereyoustudy : string put "Where do you study ", name,"." get Placewhereyoustudy put "A smarty pants eh well i dont care if your smarter than me ", name, " You cant be that smart because you are talking to a computer"

this is one of the projetc i did in the middle oh for this one how come the view.set() didnt work?

code:

var x,y :int x := 100 y := 100 loop var chars : array char of boolean     Input.KeyDown (chars)     if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then         y := y-5     end if     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        drawoval(x,y,10,10,green)     drawfilloval(x,y,10,10,green)     delay (5) cls end loop

yup theres most of my projects the rest are pretty similar so if u guys can point out on my improvements that would be much appreciated

[Tony]

two generic advices are to follow the Turing Walkthrough, and to see if you can make sence of all the [Turing Source Code] submissions

[Clayton]

eventually youll learn to compress your code a bit, but i mean, if this is just the beginning for you then wat else can be expected right? i also agree w/ tony, check the walkthrough, and go to the tutorial forum here and check it out. this is an extremely helpful thread and is normally explained decently well for beginners

[duelpoint]

thanks guys

[Rasta Fella]

Yeah, your code lines could get shorter...but it's your first time so that good then.

[duelpoint]

thanks rasta

[skootles]

When I say I don't like music (obviously a lie, haha), it tells me not to use big words

But those are pretty good for first tries

[bgmrk]

when i type my name.... nd it says hello, there is no space between the name and "do".

Yea i forgot to put one between the " and the name...


THanks on the comment guys

[duelpoint]

Umm hey guys i have a question i just didnt want to start a new thread soi thought i might post it here k any way i use 3d max photoshop and other programs and i make newby commercials in adobe premier for my tech class so could you insert any of these into turing ? like for example import 3d bats and ball and make 3d ping pong or volyball or brick ? many other games so if you can is it the same command as normal pictures?

like hers one of my pic made in 3d max



so i if i could i can make a maze game like zoom in and etc...

[Delos]

That's a nice picture you have there.

And in answer to your questions, yes all of that is possible. Now don't get too excited. Turing is notorious for being utterly terrible at 3D-type graphics. Why? Because it involves such a huge amount of processing and, well, Turing can only do so much.
I'm sure there are more technicaly reasons, but I neither know them nor would want to.

This is quite likely the single greatest 3D engine written in Turing. A fellow by the name of Catalyst also did some amazing work a while back.

If you can look at any given section of that code and intuitively know what zylum was trying to say - then you're using the wrong programming language.
Go teach yourself Ruby or something, Turing is far too limiting.
I should really take my own advice sometimes. This is actually a great idea! Yeah, Ruby!

[duelpoint]

thanks delos i will check it out but one thing it isnt running when i press run ? so how do i make it work? sorry for the newby question but like how do u run a hige game that has a diff rent engine like rpg games and this one thanks

[Delos]

Uh, what are you trying to run...and with what? Please be a little more specifc. Contrary to popular belief, I'm only partly clairvoyent.
As for your second question... is about all I can say .

[[Gandalf]]

It's not running when you press "run" because you have to tell the framework that zylum made to do something. You'll have to read up on classes and how to use them to utilize zylum's engine. But, before you do that, read up on the Turing Walkthrough.

Ha! So much for clairvoyency!

[duelpoint]

kk Thanks guys!
Thanks anyways delos, but gandalf answered the question.
I shoud be a little more specific from next time.
