Can anyone help me make lighning?

can you help me make actual lightning coming from the sky because i can't quite seem to be able to do it =(. its to make my program look more scary =)

i suggest drawing lines from a random point A to a random point B, or making a procedure dawing lines in a zigzag shape then using drawfill to color them in. 1 frame would make sense for each bolt, then a "reload" vaiable telling the computer when it can draw the next bolt

Eg (number 1)

Turing:

var reload:int:=Rand.Int(2,10) loop      reload-=1      if reload=0 then           reload:=Rand.Int(2,10)           drawline(Rand.Int(0,maxx),maxy,Rand.Int(0,maxx),0,yellow)      end if      delay(40) end loop

Eg (number 2)

Turing:

var lastx,lasty,x,y:int proc lightning randomize drawline(Rand.Int(0,maxx),maxy,x,y,yellow) for i:1..Rand.Int(2,5) lastx:=x lasty:=y x:=Rand.Int(0,maxx) y:=Rand.Int(0,maxy) drawline(lastx,lasty,x,y,yellow) end for end lightning

try someting like that

thanks =D, btw the second example displays nothing

Guys ignore this blog, the guy just want you to do his school project for him ..
Stop helping him!!! XD

bharath, the second example is just to demonstrate how one could go about it, youll have to figure out how to finish it... also, I only gave you a procedure, you have to actually call in the procedure.
if you want to make the lightning seem realistic, make a thunder sound effect that plays when the lightning flashes... look at the turorials
