hey, no flamming here, if you want, you can give constructive criticism, flamming doesn't help him, doesn't help you, and doesn't help anyone else, all it does is make you look bad. So refrain from the flames please.

btw, saying how you are making a better one doesn't help either. I'm sure many programmers here on this board could make a better one then you, but I don't see them bragging about it.

you could have given him some ideas on how to improve his program
anyway its pretty cool, but what happens when a cd has more than 20+ tracks? I think it would be cool if somehow it read the cd and displayed the number of buttons for the number of tracks

This is a good start to a program that has alot of potential,

For some reason new programmers like really long delays and title , when the program starts id just suggest you show " Media Player " instead of delaying the letters ,becsue when you open it , you want it to be ready to play media. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK.

thanks for the ideas guys

hmm i don't really like the idea of clicking a button for each track... and plus the cd the user puts in thier computer may not even have 20 tracks in which case your program will just hang there, as of now turing has no syntax that i know of that can read the cd and find out how much tracks it has but u can get around that, go to the source code forum and look for the cd player i made well before looking here lol, i made it so that you can enter the track you want, it's uh not commented but i believe it's still pretty simple

go and check my cd player out

and yes i agree, delays usually cause more strain then relief in programming, if u want a user to be ready for the next output i found that a getch is much more useful, like this:

code:

var answer:string(1) put "are you ready for the ultimate cd player in turing?" put "press any key to continue . . ." getch(answer) %then continue with your program

to get the number of tracks couldn't you just go (this is straight from turing documentation):

code:

var streamNumber : int         var fileName : string         streamNumber := Dir.Open (d:\\) % your cd rom drive         assert streamNumber > 0         loop             fileName := Dir.Get (streamNumber)             exit when fileName = ""             put fileName         end loop         Dir.Close (streamNumber)

and then in each loop you just make sure the file has an extension so it's not a folder and add that file/track to your code...

im not really sure, i haven't been doing turing that long.

corrected code:

code:

var streamNumber : int var fileName : string streamNumber := Dir.Open ("d:\\") % your cd rom drive assert streamNumber > 0 loop      fileName := Dir.Get (streamNumber)      exit when fileName = ""      put fileName end loop Dir.Close (streamNumber)

yo forgot those two quotes. . .
u need em or else the file(CD) won't open properly

actually i forget that everysingle time i use dir.open for some reason, same with the setscreen function... dam
