Playing music while displaying an animation

[illu45]

Hello all...

I'm trying to make a dancing guy while playing music. I've managed to make the dancing guy, but if I plug in the code for music, the animation doesn't start until the music is finished... As I don't think Turing has multi-threading, I guess I'm kinda screwed, but I figure I'd ask first... Here's my code so far (without the music command)

code:

var i, row, col : int := 1 i := 1 locatexy (290, 190) put "Get up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (280, 190) put "Get on up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (290, 190) put "Get up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (280, 190) put "Get on up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (280, 190) put "And DANCE!" delay (750) cls put ":D-<" loop     if i = 1 then         delay (100)         cls         locate (row, col)         put ":D|-<"         row := row + 1         if row > 25 then             col := col + 10             row := 1         end if         if col > maxcol then             col := 1             row := 1         end if         i := 2     elsif i = 2 then         delay (100)         cls         locate (row, col)         put ":D/-<"         row := row + 1         if row > 25 then             col := col + 10             row := 1         end if         if col > maxcol then             col := 1             row := 1         end if         i := 1     end if end loop

silly illu45 reading documentation is your friend. You can ether make a new thread with process / fork or just use Music.PlayFileReturn() (I think that's the command, check F10) that will create a new thread for you.

Oh.. whoops . I looked at the documentation, it works now... Thanks

Here's the code, if someone wants it:

code:

var i, row, col : int := 1 i := 1 locatexy (290, 190) put "Get up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (280, 190) put "Get on up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (290, 190) put "Get up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (280, 190) put "Get on up!" delay (750) cls locatexy (280, 190) put "And DANCE!" delay (750) cls process music     Music.PlayFileLoop ("Music.MP3") end music process dance     put ":D-<"     loop         if i = 1 then             delay (100)             cls             locate (row, col)             put ":D|-<"             row := row + 1             if row > 25 then                 col := col + 10                 row := 1             end if             if col > maxcol then                 col := 1                 row := 1             end if             i := 2         elsif i = 2 then             delay (100)             cls             locate (row, col)             put ":D/-<"             row := row + 1             if row > 25 then                 col := col + 10                 row := 1             end if             if col > maxcol then                 col := 1                 row := 1             end if             i := 1         end if     end loop end dance fork music fork dance

Feel free to use your own music, I used 'One more Time' .

Looking at your code, you need MUSIC.mp3 for anything to play.

But I've never seen a stickman done like that, thanks

[illu45]

Hmm.. I'm having some trouble uploading the file (It's about 8 MBs in size, which is below the limit...) Any ideas? Here's the error message:

Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./../bbs/files/music.zip.

actually your limit (same as any other new user) is 2MB I could upgrade that for you as needed, but I'm questioning your 8MB music uploads

[illu45]

Ah... All right... Um, no need to upgrade my storage capacity yet... The file is large, probably becasue its pretty long (6:07 mins)... I'll see if I can get a smaller version (a sample).

EDIT: All right, I found a sample of another song that seems to work pretty well... Here it is:

it should go:

: D /-<
: D |-<
: D \-<

clearly about to see...
