Game Help (Triangles)

[Spence607]

Just wondering if anyone knew of a way to draw triangles in Turing, I can't seem to find a way myself.

I need it for this:

Do you know how to draw lines? Then you can draw a triangle. Write a function to draw a triangle even. I see dozens of triangles already drawn on your picture.

You have to use Draw.Polygon or Draw.FillPolygon.

Go check them out in the turing reference, basically you just create arrays which store multiple x and y values into a single variable, and use those arrays to create any number of points. In your case you will want to use 3 different points.

EDIT: You could just use lines if you only want to create an outline, but if you want to create different colors inside the triangle you will want to use the Draw.FillPolygon procedure.

Yes, I could use lines, but then to fill in the triangle I would also have to use lines, which would take forever, and alright Laplace's Demon, I'll check out Polygon's.

Spence, you could use Draw.Fill to fill in the triangle. But then, Draw.Polygon would work better.

Polygons rule! Thanks for the help.
