Loop Syntax Help

[Chromaticci]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
A smoothly running program that continues reading the code after the end loop.

What is the problem you are having?
I have a code and it runs smoothly up until my end loop command. Then the program no longer reads anything after that.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I am assuming it's a stupid syntax error so I've been googling "Turing Syntax Help" and the similar searches into my search engine. In hope that there are others with similar problems. So far, no luck.

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
And here is my current code work, I've removed the music and extras to keep the code short: The original snow code does not belong to me.

Turing:

setscreen ("nobuttonbar") setscreen ("noecho") setscreen ("nocursor") setscreen ("graphics:680;500") var sx : array 1 .. 300 of int var sy : array 1 .. 300 of int for snow : 1 .. 300     sx (snow) := Rand.Int (0, maxx)     sy (snow) := Rand.Int (0, maxy) end for loop     Draw.FillBox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, 18)     for snow : 1 .. 300         sy (snow) -= Rand.Int (0, 5)         Draw.FillOval (sx (snow), sy (snow), 2, 2, white)     end for delay (20) end loop /*What I want to shown*/ var Header: int Header := Font.New ("Rockwell Extra Bold:30:bold") Font.Draw ("TEXTEXTEXTEXT", 115, maxy - 80, iHeader, white)

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
The most recent one available @ Holtsoft

Umm... Is the ID in your Font.Draw supposed to be iHeader?

Oh, whoops. Also, there's no exit when statement. Thats the condition you set for the loop to finish.

I've tried placing an exit before "end loop" but that just makes the entire code not move...Erm the snow part.
Oh it is supposed to be iHeader but I must have erased it by accident :c

What Raknarg is saying is that since the loop never exits, it just keeps on repeated indefinitely, and never gets to "/*What I want to shown*/" part.

But if you do exit the loop, then that part stops repeating, so naturally no new animation screens would be drawn.

Turing:

loop      number := number + 1      exit when number = 5 end loop

That's how you would use exit when. You could do something similar in your case.
