you would have to draw a black background or one that white will show up on..
then use the locate function
make a for loop
in the forloop have the y decrease by a value kinda like this

example: an animation i did

Turing:

var f1 : int := Font.New ("Airal:72:bold")
var f2 : int := Font.New ("Airal:20:bold")

for a : 1 .. 20
locate (5, +a)

put " ______"
locate (6, +a)

put " / TTYL \\######### "
locate (7, +a)
put " ___/________\\___"
locate (8, +a)
put "/ ____________ \\"
locate (9, +a)
put "[-| |O| |O| |-]"
locate (10, +a)
put " ---------------- "

delay (100)

end for

for b : 1 .. 36
locate (6, 38 + b)
put ">}OMG)>"
delay (20)

end for

for i : 0 .. 350
drawfillbox (maxx div 2 + i, maxy div 2 + i, maxx div 2 - i, maxy div 2 - i, black)
delay (10)
end for
delay (300)

colorback (black)
color (white)
locate (15, 14)
put " ______"
locate (15, 14)

put " / TTYL \\######### >>>>>}OMG)"
locate (16, 14)
put " ___/________\\___"
locate (17, 14)
put "/ ____________ \\"
locate (18, 14)
put "[-| |O| |O| |-]"
locate (19, 14)
put " ---------------- "
delay (1000)

locate (15, 20)
Font.Draw ("GET ONE", 100, 200, f1, white)

delay (3000)
for h : 0 .. 350
drawfillbox (maxx div 2 + h, maxy div 2 + h, maxx div 2 - h, maxy div 2 - h, 42)
delay (10)
end for

Font.Draw ("But wait, there is also the starship enterprise!!!",1,300, f2, brightred)
colorback (42)
color (80)
put" __...____________________ ,"
put" `(\\ [ ===NCC-1700===--|__|) ___..--*_`--.._____"
put" `-----------------| |***` [_**_-___________*_/"
put" | | /..../`*-._.-*`"
put" ____| |__/::..*_"
put" |\\ **.*** *_____//\\"
put" ***-. ***** \\/"
put" **********"

in the for loop the +a simply says every time you repeat add one to me

so like
1 loops
2 loops
3 loops

you just have to play with the locate function and the y corr.

Umm isn't there a way to make snow fall using Random integer?

ecookman · **Posted:** Sun Dec 14, 2008 2:45 pm

not sure...you could set the movements so it will increase the x and y and then decrease so you get a side to side movement...other than that i don't know

Yes it's Rand.Int (#,#)
This isn't acually random (based on time) but If you want True Random look up Rand.Seed
for what your doing though Rand.int will be fine
