Turing run mode resolution

[storm2713687]

Hey members of CompSci, I was just wondering, is there a way to adjust the run mode resolution for Turing? I'm using version 4.1.1; do I need to use a certain code if it's possible?

See View.Set().

View.Set

Here's an example using Window.Open .

Turing:

var windowWidth := 640 var windowHeight := 480 var windowSetUpString := "graphics:" + intstr (windowWidth) + ";" + intstr (windowHeight) windowSetUpString += ",nobuttonbar" windowSetUpString += ",offscreenonly" var windowId := Window.Open (windowSetUpString)

Edit: Okay, that was weird. Must have pulled from my cache when I Right Clicked the tab > Duplicate when seeing if anyone already replied (I opened the tab and forgot about it).

or more simply: setscreen ("graphics:500;500")

the first number being the x size and the second being y size

Thanks for the help guys

I'll go try this one out since it does seem a lot more simple

Also, for future reference:

setscreen ("graphics:max;max") sets the screen to maximum resolution size.

YES!!!! THAT'S WHAT I WANTED THE MOST, the other one is good, but this was what I was mainly looking for
I'm so stupid for not mentioning I was looking for that lol, but TY!

Just note that if you're trying to make a program to use on multiple computers, the best thing to do is scale your images so they are positioned correctly on any monitor size.

Or not. Do whatever.

My programs are so far just simple calculators

Exactly, so you can spend time learning a simple concept then Thats how you get better, try stuff you havent tried

I've only made one or two different "simple" calculators, but I only add new things I learn from tuts
I wish I'm in grade 10 already though, then I can take compsci and have a teacher to help

Once you learn keyboard input, simple graphics, loops, for statements and procedures/functions, you can build almost any old arcade game. There aren't any tutorials for most of those, but you can create them with a little thought and time. It seems daunting now, but once you understand the most basic tools you will have no trouble.

Actually, Cervante's walkthrough covered all of those (but maybe not graphics, I'm not sure). I guess I can ALMOST make an old arcade game
Would pac-man be one?

[Insectoid]

Pac-man is one of the harder ones, but you can certainly do Pong or Breakout or Asteroids.

or you can do what I did, I spent a bunch of time making a typical sidescrolling spaceship shooting game, which was a lot of fun to make (considering you get to do whatever you want, and put in what you like). Learning how graphics work was even better, though very time consuming. I'd spend hours hardcoding enemy ship drawings into turing.
