[source] How to make bombs drop while player still play game

[DanShadow]

Mimi asked for a code, that allows a player to drop bombs, and have the bombs drop without disappearing while the character moves. So I thought, some other people may want to know how it is done, so here it is.

code:

var playerx, playery : int playerx := 20 playery := 380 var key : string (1) := "" var num, counter : int := 0 var bombx, bomby : array 1 .. 200 of int for i : 1 .. 200     bombx (i) := -20     bomby (i) := -20 end for loop     setscreen ("offscreenonly")     View.Update     delay (5)     num := num + 1     Draw.FillBox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, 255)     Draw.FillBox (playerx - 20, playery - 20, playerx + 20, playery + 20, 1)     if hasch then         getch (key)     end if     if key = (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) and playerx < maxx - 10 then         playerx := playerx + 6     elsif key = (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) and playerx > 10 then         playerx := playerx - 6     end if     for i : 1 .. 200         if bomby (i) < 0 then             bombx (i) := -20             bomby (i) := -20         end if         if bombx (i) not= -20 and bomby (i) not= -20 then             Draw.FillOval (bombx (i), bomby (i), 15, 15, 12)             bomby (i) := bomby (i) - 18         end if     end for     if counter >= 5 then         if bombx (num) = -20 and bomby (num) = -20 then             bombx (num) := playerx             bomby (num) := playery - 15             counter := 0         end if     end if     counter := counter + 1     if num = 199 then         num := 0     end if end loop

Use it how you wish, if you can pick th rough the code. (Its not hard to do that) Ive used this kind of thing (with arrays) for multiple t hings, from this, to saving where bullets have been in a shooter game. Enjoy
