Procedures are explained in detail in the Turing Walkthrough. So is screen flickering (there should be a tutorial about View.Update. That's the one you want).

[Tony]

to animate things smoothly you need to use View.Update. Use of processes will make View.Update not work correctly. Therefore, you need to remove your use of processes.

but I want to have multiple animations at the same time!

[Insectoid]

No, you want one animation of many parts.

[ilia]

so what should i do?

[Insectoid]

Search the Turing Help section for the literally hundreds of topics with your exact problem.

ok, thanks

to remove flickering you type

View.UpdateArea (0,0,maxx,maxy) % whole screen
delay(5)
cls

only type this after u finish drawing all of ur pictures.
usually put at the bottom the loop with ur drawings inside

People don't learn how to do things if you tell them what to enter...

Maybe, you should explain and elaborate on why you have to use those to remove the flickering.

plus, you forgot your

Turing:

setscreen ("offscreenonly")

Right. Except if there's a process involved. Then he wouldn't know how much of that process' picture had been drawn already. This is why the two ideas are incompatible*.

* synchronization being an exception. Though if you are going to block processes, then you might as well just use procedures in the first place. In most cases procedures are the appropriate and easier solution.
