Help! Newbie question! Put two animation in one Execution windows!

[Wreathe]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Display two animation in one execution windows


What is the problem you are having?
Either one or the other animation stops while the other moves! I want both to move at once!


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I moved the second animation's code everywhere but still didn't work!


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
-----First Code-----
View.Set ("offscreenonly")


var x,y : array 1 .. 400 of int


for snow : 1 .. 400
x (snow) := Rand.Int (0, maxx)
y (snow) := Rand.Int (0, maxy)
end for
loop

Draw.FillBox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, black)

for snow : 1 .. 400

y (snow) -= Rand.Int (1, 5)

if y (snow) < 0 then
y (snow) := maxy
y (snow) := Rand.Int (0, maxx)
end if
Draw.FillOval (x (snow), y (snow), 1, 1, white)
end for

View.Update
delay (25)
end loop


-------Second Code---------


drawfillbox (1, 1, maxx, maxy, black)

setscreen ("offscreenonly")
for i : 1 .. 225
drawfilloval (i + i, i + i, i, i, white)
View.Update
delay (50)
drawfilloval (i + i, i + i, i, i, black)
end for

How does a loop (regular loop and for-loop) work? They run the code on the inside, until the loop exists.

This should explain why the execution never gets to the second part (loop never exists), and hopefully an idea of what needs to be done.

try using fork and processes to get them both at the same time

That's not at all what I was going for.

Besides, processes are guaranteed to not work correctly with offscreenonly.

ya i just tried the second animation went all flashy

Tony, Even i put my second code inside the "End Loop" of the first code, some other damn error happens! Or you mean, i have to add another loop? If so, please show me where and how!

[Raknarg]

you only need one loop for this program. Instead of using i for your x and y, set those outside your loop and change them on the inside. You have two separate loops; it will only show one thing at a time. If you use one loop, they will work at the same time.
I'll refrain from giving code from fear of losing bits from tony

om nom nom nom bits.

@Wreathe -- what kind of an error? How do you think it could be fixed?
