lagging program

[bvbjules13]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
i am trying to do an animation

What is the problem you are having?
for some reason when i run the animation, the program delays after i finish the animation and i do not have a delay being used

Turing:

fork TruckSound %playing sound %truck moving for i : -450 .. 50 by 2    %to go across the whole screen     cls     Hills ()     %drawing background     Bamboo (625, 200)     %drawing bamboo     Bamboo (775, 225)     %drawing second bamboo     Tree (400, 5)     %drawing the tree (standing     PandaAn (650, 150)     %drawing the panda animation     Truck (i, 0)     %drawing the truck     Font.Draw ("UNTIL THE HUMANS CAME...", 225, 50, font1, white)     View.Update     %updating the screen end for EndMusic () %ending the music

i seem to have a lag after the end of music, when i start the next animation the program seems to wait then do the next animation, the procedure EndMusic consists of:

Turing:

procedure EndMusic ()     finished := true %stoping the muic loop     Music.PlayFileStop %stopping the music     finished := false %resetting the variable so that the next ound can play end EndMusic

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

What do you mean, it delays? There's nothing in your code to cause this. The issue is likely somewhere else in your code (immediately following this for loop, I suspect).

Also,

code:

procedure EndMusic ()     finished := true %stoping the muic loop     Music.PlayFileStop %stopping the music     finished := false %resetting the variable so that the next ound can play end EndMusic

Unless you're doing something really funky in your sound processes, this is equivalent to calling Music.PlayFileStop on its own. You're setting finished to true, and then false again before anything else can look at it.

Delays could also be caused by long loops and not refreshing the screen with View.Update (that is, stuff is still happening in the background, just nothing gets drawn to screen).
