Help, accidently used process!

[DifinityRJ]

Hi, im in gr.10 and i made a game, i used Bubble Bobble sprites, and i used processes without knowing they aren't good to use in programs , and i tried to convert to procedure without ruining my game , but i don't know how to....
Here it is..

[uberwalla]

all u got to do is take away the ss' in process and add 'dure' then take away "fork" and just call the name of the procedure where needed and it should run.

[DifinityRJ]

It doesn't work , whenever i press space or enter, it jus slows down and doesn't shoot anything.

I didn't look at your code, but the problem is likely that you didn't call the procedures in your main loop.

[DifinityRJ]

i did something like
procedure explosion
blah blah blah
blah blah
end explosion

blah
blah
var
var
Main loop here
blah
blah


if explosion_check = 1 then
explosion ( i called on the procedure here)
end if




end loop

ok well if you could post your code in winzip i could take a look because i dont got winrar cuz frankly i think its gay. i prefer conpressed zip//winzip because they are the most commonly used.

WinRAR is by far superior to WinZIP, WinRAR also allows you to uncompress far more compression types (WinZIP included), so why don't you take the time to download WinRAR and stop whining.

Pleas think before you post stuff on the Internet, you could be potentially offending the gay population of the board by saying that...

On topic, WinRar is a lot better than winzip since you can compress the data a lot more and also split the final files into predetermined file sizes, so .RAR is better than .ZIP...

Silly children, 7-Zip is the only way to go. It handles almost anything you throw at it, and it runs on things other than Winders.

You're all nuts! tar and bzip2 are where it's at; or even tar and gzip! None of these crappy GUIs for a true computer... person...

/me goes back to his *nix

WinRar is mostly used imo, i use it the most anyways..

winzip is leh crappeh!

Enough. This is not a discussion on compression formats.

No. Most of the time, this will not work. Why? Because usually a process is coded with the expectation that it runs alongside the main program. So my process might step through a loop forever as it draws stuff. The main program will continue to run, and my process will draw. (Note that this is terrible code.) Now if I change that process to a procedure and call the procedure within my main program, the loop in the procedure will execute forever and my main program will not execute. See the problem?

Instead, you need to take the idea from the process and inline it directly into your main program. This could be done with a procedure, but it means more than simply copying the body of the process into a procedure.
