split screen

[dejan]

Does anyone know if it is possible to make a split screen game in turing. If so how do you do it?[/b]

now its been a while so i forget but i think its something along the lines of this

code:

var i : int := Window.Open ("graphics:x,y")//opens a new window var i2: int := Window.Open ("graphics:x,y")//opens a new window Window.Select (i)//selects the i window Window.Close (i2)//closes the i2 window

hope that helps

Well you split your screen into two distinct areas. Say (0,0) to (maxx,maxy/2) and (0,maxy/2) to (maxx,maxy)

Now the bottom player you do as you would if your window was half the size. Assume maxy/2 for your maxy.

Do the same for the top player, but now shift everything maxy/2 up, so that two "screens" don't overlap.

yep, trust tony on this one. Drawing everything to a single screen is much faster for your program then opening up and updating 2 different windows. Especially with the inclusion of View.UpdateArea, making split screen should just be about drawing to 2 different areas predefined in your program.
