put pics in array, randomize the subscripts, then draw the pic. |

code: |
var myPics : array 1 .. 2 of int
var picNumber : int
myPics(1) := ("pic1.bmp")
myPics(2) := ("pic2.bmp")
randint (picNumber, 1, 2)
Pic.Draw (myPics(picNumber), ..., ..., ...)

Hm... but doesn that mean i have to use multiple pics for multiple spaceships? I want one pic to be able to multiply all overthe screen. |

then you need to have the program draw your picture in a loop, with a couple randint statements in there for the x and y coords of the pic |

I dont understand. Do you want a random picture to be displayed in a certain place, or a single picture displayed in random places, or a number of random pictures to be displayed in random places?
For the second option:
code: |
const NUMBER_OF_INSTANCES := 5
var myPic := Pic.FileNew ("spaceship.bmp")
var posX, posY : array 1 .. NUMBER_OF_INSTANCES of int
for i : 1 .. NUMBER_OF_INSTANCES
randint (posX(i), 0, maxx)
randint (posY(i), 0, maxy)
Pic.Draw (myPic, posX(i), posY(i), Pic.Merge
end for
|
Thats what I think you mean. If you want to incorporate a random picture from a collection of pictures than use my previous posts and when you draw the pics, use the random pic in the for loop.
EDIT: Ah! SuperGenius beat me ! I just repeated what he said so know I look stupid ! |

What is your main program exactly? Drawing the picutres is one of the main parts of any program. I don't know what your code or game is like so I can't help much more.... use View.Update and offscreenonly ? Maybe post your're program... or you can PM the code so everybody doesnt copy your code. |
