Top 15 Turing commands

[Mark]

Hey everyone, I am about to get Turing, and lol, I need to learn fast. I am not too familiar with the syntax, I know this is a lot to ask, but I want to go into making video games, and does anyone know some commands that I might want to know??? lol you dont have to do 15 unless your really good....


Thanks a lot people

turing comes with a help file that describes all the commands for you. The most basic commands you can't go anywhere without are:


put
get
var
if
for
loop


thats enough to do most of the stuff... If you want to add some visuals to the program, use
draw.box .oval .whatever

Maybe you should read some introductory tutorials? We got a bunch of them here.

yes yes, things like for and if, i have programmed java before, and i assume they are similar, but what else, what is the equivilent of System.out.println (print line of text to the screen)


or get input, is that get, oh

anything else i should research, oh im getting two of the three books on the turing website, the referense manual and the object oriented programming one,

thanks for all your help so far, anyone else have comments?

turing is really straight farward... syntax is simple. And its not really object oriented.

put "text" is used to put text on the screen
get variable will get input from user

8) Good luck with programming, hope to see you around

Hmm.. this is kinda funny... I've heard about learning Turing and then moving on to "the next level" with java or c or c++.... but going from java to turing? sounds a little weird. I mean, I am not saying turing sucks or anything (in fact, I love to do small applications in turing since the syntax is very simple and no need for lots 'classes' and 'methods' and importing) but if you want to make a relatively nice game, I think Java is the answer...

my 2 cents,
