Objects Moving with Different Delays

[FearSonic]

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a way to objects moving at different speeds accross the screen according to their randomized speed? I have the randomed speed already, but I just need to know how to get it to move at the same time according to the speed. Thanks!

Well what you need to do is make the random vaiable for the speed the change in the y axis , so say teh speed is 2 , well then your movement will be y + 2, but you would want this as a variable


so randint speed ... blah blah blah
loop
delay (100) *** so you can see it move ***
drawfilloval ( 0,y,0,0,0,0)
y =y + speed
exit when y = maxy
end loop



<-- not proper syntax at all but get my point about making the oval variable dependant , i wish i could explain it better , im gonna find you a working program tolearn from , but i just cant explain it right now , i jsut know how to do it

Im not sure if it would help you, but you can check my horseracing game at:

This involves moving stuff across the screen at random speeds.
