Is it possible to move an object with case statements?

[zOriginaL]

If so, how?

[ProgrammingFun]

Please elaborate.

It may be possible but it depends on how and why you want it to move.
IMO, if statements are better for animation.

You should answer the questions in the template provided when you create a topic.

Why would you want to?

Anyway, you could do it kind of like this:

code:

newLocation := case lastLocation     label case1 : valueForCase1     label case2: valueForCase2 end case drawObject (newLocation)

No, I don't know the turing case syntax, but that's the gist of it. If statements are much better in my horribly uninformed and biased opinion.

@Insectoid: you are thinking too much in Ruby. Turing's case does not return a value.

[SNIPERDUDE]

In Turing, a case statement is just like a crippled if statement.

[Insectoid]

If it doesn't return a value then how the hell do you use it? Is it only good for calling procedures or something?

@Sniperdude, I agree, though it has its uses.

Case statements (in Turing) let you do something like the following:
(You can also call procedures, I guess)

Turing:

var example:int get example case example of label 1: put "You put 1." label 2: put "You put 2." label: put "You are boring!" end case

[Insectoid]

Oh, lame. Can you replace the 'put' with an assignment at least?

[Tony]

short: yes

long:
case
