How do you close a window by pressing only 1 key?

I'm using Turing 3.1 and I'm not quite sure how to close the 1st window and get a 2nd one up. Thanks

I don't quite understand what specifically you're trying to do. If you can't open multiple windows then that is because Turing is running in Beginner mode and you can change that through prefferences. If your problem is something else please go in to more detail.

I need to make it so I can press any key instead of enter to get to the tic tac toe screen. Thanks

code:

var w:=Window.Open("fullscreen")
var o1,o2,o3,o4:int
var x1,x2,x3,x4,x5:int
var junk:string
%-----------------------------------------------
drawfillbox (maxx,maxy,0,0,Yellow)
colour (green)
locate (maxrow div 2,maxcol div 2 -13)
put"Welcome to Tic Tac Toe!"
locate (maxrow,maxcol)
put"Press any key to begin playing Tic Tac Toe."
get junk:*
delay(200)
Window.Close(w)

%-----------------------------------------------
var h:=Window.Open("fullscreen")
drawfillbox (maxx,maxy,0,0,Yellow)

you want

getch() Wink

just like a get, but it takes a single key as its input Very Happy

code:

var c:string(1)
put "press a key"
getch(c)
put "you pressed ", c

Note that its string(1) meaning its 1 character long. Turing will give you an error otherwise Confused
