Back button

[bvbjules13]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
going back to the last procedure that is previously made, i have a start page and an instruction page, i want to go from start page to instruction page and back to start page with the instruction button still there


What is the problem you are having?
the lines of codes matter so i cant, i would have to keep copying pasting infinite lines of code

Turing:

import GUI View.Set ("graphics: 550, 400") procedure Back     cls     put "PROGRAM CODE"     var instructions : int := GUI.CreateButton (10, 10, 0, "Instructions", Instructions1)     var start : int := GUI.CreateButton (100, 10, 0, "Start", Start1)     loop         exit when GUI.ProcessEvent     end loop end Back procedure Instructions     cls     put "HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME:"     put "\nThe point of this game is to get to the end destination, to get to\nthe end point you must enter a maze and find it on your own."     put "You must enter either north (for going up), south (for going down),\neast (for going right), and west (for going left) when the game\nrequires you to."     put "\nYou will have a limit of 25 moves, and a maximum of 100 HP (health\npoints), once either health, moves, or both equal zero, the game\nends."     put "\n\nHINT: When hitting a wall or gate, advancing in that direction is\nimpossible"     var back : int := GUI.CreateButton (10, 10, 0, "Back", Back) end Instructions procedure Start     put "PROGRAM CODE" end Start var instructions : int := GUI.CreateButton (10, 10, 0, "Instructions", Instructions) var start : int := GUI.CreateButton (100, 10, 0, "Start", Start) loop     exit when GUI.ProcessEvent end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

When a procedure completes, the control flow automatically goes back to the previous location (from where the procedure was called). E.g.

code:

procedure second    put "second" end second procedure first    put "first"    second    put "first again" end first first

The second part of it all is that there is no such thing as "a page" in Turing. You have one program, with one screen, and everything lives together in this one place. Going forward might seem easy -- it's okay to just draw new stuff on top of the old stuff; but all of the GUI elements still remain. Unless you use GUI.Dispose or GUI.Hide, you'll just end up with layers of buttons on top of each other.

thanks tony! that helped a lot, i think i'm understanding what u're saying

[bvbjules13]

actually tony that doe not work because both procedures rely on each other
