how do I move an imported image back and forth?

[aigi]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
moving an imported image (a crab) back and forth in a loop

What is the problem you are having?
image trails after itself each time it moves

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
cls, but it then clears the rest of the images i've already drawn.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
i'm well aware i'm using picMerge, i prefer it to be like that unless there's another way to show the background and move the image without it trailing itself

Turing:

%crab     var crab:= Pic.FileNew("crab.gif") var x := 25 var y := 20 loop for i : 1 .. 10           Pic.Draw (crab, x,y, picMerge) x := x + 20 delay (50) end for for i : 1 .. 10         Pic.Draw (crab, x+20,y, picMerge) x := x -20 delay (50) end for end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.0.5

i'm still kind of new at this stuff, so thanks in advance

Yes, there is.

Turing:

var crab:= Pic.FileNew("crab.gif") var x := 25 var y := 20 loop      for i : 1 .. 10           (draw background)           Pic.Draw (crab, x,y, picCopy)           x := x + 20           delay (50)           cls      end for      for i : 1 .. 10           (draw background)           Pic.Draw (crab, x+20,y, picCopy)           x := x -20           delay (50)           cls      end for end loop
