This source file was send to me by Tom West, it is well commented and shows an interesting aspect of how you can smoothly move your images and how you can move your background image.

Note Works only in 4.x

i'm quite new to Turing and i need a little help on this... the screen keeps on flickering and i can't get a clean/smooth animation

code:

setscreen ( "graphics:1000;700")
var x,y : int
var sky : int
var ship : int
var backgroundPictureWidth, backgroundPictureHeight : int
var backgroundPictureX, backgroundPictureY : int

ship := Pic.FileNew ("c5.bmp")
sky := Pic.FileNew ("sky.jpg")
backgroundPictureWidth := Pic.Width (sky)
backgroundPictureHeight := Pic.Height (sky)
backgroundPictureX := (backgroundPictureWidth - (maxx + 1)) div 2
backgroundPictureY := (backgroundPictureHeight - (maxy + 1)) div 2



x:=100
y:=100
var chars : array char of boolean
        loop
       
        Input.KeyDown (chars)
            if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then
                y:=y+15
            end if
            if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then
                x:=x+15
            end if
            if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then
                x:=x-15
            end if
            if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then
                y:=y-15
            end if
            cls
            Pic.Draw (sky, -backgroundPictureX, -backgroundPictureY, picCopy)
            Pic.Draw(ship,x,y,picMerge)
            View.Update
        end loop


thanx..
Prince

thanx alot man... Very Happy
hello

This is what i did and it seems to work very well

u can start off with the background

have two pic ids both of the same picture or different pictures

then for each id have a separate y value so when its in the loop it can change

within the loop
draw the first picture in screen
and then draw the next picture off screen above the first one

then have both y values decrease or increase in the same amount

have two if statements checking for each y value
if the y value is less than the negative of the length of y of the window
set the y value to the positive of the y length of the window
and draw it

jamez wut did you change in that program?
I can see that U addad the View.Update but I tryed that in my program and it didn't work Confused Do you have to hav all the Draw commaneds in bettewn the View.Update? because in my program there not does that matter?

you gotta have
code:

View.Set("offscreenonly")


at top of your program. Then:

loop
draw something
draw something else
..
View.Update
end loop

code:
if jupiterX - MARGIN < 0 then
        jupiterX := MARGIN
    elsif jupiterX + jupiterWidth > spaceWidth - MARGIN then
        jupiterX := spaceWidth - MARGIN - jupiterWidth
    end if


k i know that this tell the prog to move the background insted of the
jupiter pic, but how would you make the jupiter pic just stop??
(like hitting a wall in a game)
i've only been learning this fer like 7 hours so if this is extremly easy just call me stupid Wink

to stop, you just don't allow the picture to move pass 0. such as
code:

var x:int := maxx

loop

Draw.Oval(x,100,5,5,red)
if x-5 < 0 then
%you've hit the wall, can't move pass
exit %exits loop
else
%otherwise still space in front to move
x:=x-5 %move 5 pixels to the left
delay(25)
end if

end loop

Wow that was fast!
Thank You Burn
"one more thing!"
how do you stop it from moving past the point then still be able to move the object.
(move star around box but non let if exit box?)
i just need to know how to stop if from moving while still being able to controll it in other directions
thnaks again

is there anyway that Turing can load faster?? i mean, i made this "space invaders" program for my comp sci proj, but as more and more aliens come down, the entire game just becomes slower and slower. (aliens are .jpg files)
