Space invaders aid!

[Jorue]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Space Invaders game for my comp sci class


What is the problem you are having?
Bullets pass completely through the first row, then hit the enemy in the second row, doing what is should before crashing.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I have looked over my variables and code and I haven't the slightest idea what is wrong.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

procedure enemycheck (shootx, shooty : int, var ehit : int)     for count : 1 .. 10         if shoot1x <= enemies1 (count, 2) + 10 and shoot1x >= enemies1 (count, 2) - 10 and shoot1y <= enemies1 (count, 3) + 10 and shoot1y >= enemies1 (count, 3) - 10 and enemies1 (count, 4) = 1 then             Sprite.Hide (enemies1 (count, 1))             enemies1 (count, 4) := 0             ehit := 1             exit         end if         if shoot1x <= enemies2 (count, 2) + 10 and shoot1x >= enemies2 (count, 2) - 10 and shoot1y <= enemies2 (count, 3) + 10 and shoot1y >= enemies2 (count, 3) - 10 and enemies2 (count, 4) = 0 then             Sprite.Hide (enemies2 (count, 1))             enemies2 (count, 4) := 0             ehit := 1             exit         end if         if shoot1x <= enemies3 (count, 2) + 10 and shoot1x >= enemies3 (count, 2) - 10 and shoot1y <= enemies3 (count, 3) + 10 and shoot1y >= enemies3 (count, 3) - 10 and enemies3 (count, 4) = 0 then             Sprite.Hide (enemies3 (count, 2))             enemies3 (count, 4) := 0             ehit := 1             exit         end if         if shoot1x <= enemies4 (count, 2) + 10 and shoot1x >= enemies4 (count, 2) - 10 and shoot1y <= enemies4 (count, 3) + 10 and shoot1y >= enemies4 (count, 3) - 10 and enemies4 (count, 4) = 0 then             Sprite.Hide (enemies4 (count, 1))             enemies4 (count, 4) := 0             ehit := 1             exit         end if         if shoot1x <= enemies5 (count, 2) + 10 and shoot1x >= enemies5 (count, 2) - 10 and shoot1y <= enemies5 (count, 3) + 10 and shoot1y >= enemies5 (count, 3) - 10 and enemies5 (count, 4) = 0 then             Sprite.Hide (enemies5 (count, 1))             enemies5 (count, 4) := 0             ehit := 1             exit         end if         if shoot1x <= enemies6 (count, 2) + 10 and shoot1x >= enemies6 (count, 2) - 10 and shoot1y <= enemies6 (count, 3) + 10 and shoot1y >= enemies6 (count, 3) - 10 and enemies6 (count, 4) = 0 then             Sprite.Hide (enemies6 (count, 1))             enemies6 (count, 4) := 0             ehit := 1             exit         end if     end for end enemycheck % And an example of the shooting process shoot1     shoot1x := x     shoot1y := y - 155     Sprite.Show (bullets (1))     loop         Sprite.SetPosition (bullets (1), shoot1x, shoot1y, true)         enemycheck (shoot1x, shoot1y, hit)         delay (10)         shoot1y += 5         exit when shoot1y > maxy or hit = 0     end loop     Sprite.Hide (bullets (1))     shot1 := 0 end shoot1

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
2, I think.

Turing 2??? go to www.holtsoft.com and download 4.1 or something. I don't really want to help you if you're using something that outdated

[Jorue]

Oh nonono. That's what I have then, this is on the school comps, and it was recently updated. I just wasn't sure, lol

[mirhagk]

oh okay lol, I was about to cry for you. Lol okay well first off that first procedure that passes in the ehit variable should really be a function. Here's what it'd be kinda like

Turing:

function enemycheck(shootx,shooty:int):boolean for i:1..10   if hits_it then      result true   end if end for result false end enemycheck

[Jorue]

Could you show me how to edit that in? ;-; We aren't at that level. Lawl, I've never heard of a function. QQ

[mirhagk]

damn school. okay well a function is basically a procedure except it returns something.

you call a procedure by typing

Turing:

procedure myproc put "Hello World!" end myproc myproc

but you call a function by the following

Turing:

var msg:string function myfcn:string result "Hello World!" end myfcn msg:=myfcn put msg

[Superskull85]

Or you could just call "myfcn" within the put statement, and not store the return value in a variable:

Turing:

function myfcn () : string     result "Hello World!" end myfcn put myfcn ()

[mirhagk]

but considering the fact that he's never heard of functions before, I figured storing it in a variable would be easier for him to understand.

[Insectoid]

Considering the fact that he's never heard of functions before, I figure it's high time he learned.
