Turing --Help

A simple programming language, easy to use, and learn, that I've basically mastered (Java's a bitch anyways ).

I'll use this as a help thread.

I am creating a game called CannonChuck!!
But... i need a little help on the final stages of production.
Here is the code that i got so far:

View.Set ("graphics:900;400,nobuttonbar") %frame manipulation
var pic : int := Pic.FileNew ("chucknorris3.jpg")
var pic2 : int := Pic.FileNew ("the world trade center.jpg")
var pic3 : int := Pic.FileNew ("wtc1.jpg")
var pic4 : int := Pic.FileNew ("world_trade_centre.jpg")
var font1 : int
var key : string (1)
var velocity, theta : real := 0
var x, y : int := 0
var timer : real := 0
var gravity : real := 1 %GRAVITY
var counter : int := 0

%draws Chuck
Pic.Draw (pic, 0, 0, picMerge)
%World Trade Center
Pic.Draw (pic2, 635, 0, picCopy)
%Title
font1 := Font.New ("Palatino:50:bold,italic")
assert font1 > 0
Font.Draw ("CannonChuck Game", 50, 290, font1, 12)
Font.Free (font1)
locatexy (300, 230)
put "Press any key to continue" ..
getch (key)
cls
%instructions
put ""
put ""
put "Hit the top of the World Trade Center with Chuck Norris to destroy it. Once the World Trade Center has been hit"
put "at the right spot by Chuck Norris, it will explode and sink to the ground. To shoot Chuck Norris, type in low"
put "digit integers for the initial power and angle of deployment."
put ""
put "Press any key to continue" ..
getch (key)
cls
loop
Pic.Draw (pic, 0, 0, picMerge)
%World Trade Center
Pic.Draw (pic2, 635, 0, picCopy)
%angle and power
locatexy (0, 390)
put "Enter an initial power (1 to 30): " ..
get velocity
locatexy (0, 390)
drawfillbox (0, 380, 200, 400, 0)
put "Enter an angle of deployment (0 to 90): " ..
get theta
loop
setscreen ("offscreenonly")
Pic.Draw (pic, x, y, picMerge)
delay (100)
cls
Pic.Draw (pic2, 635, 0, picCopy)
Pic.Draw (pic, x, y, picMerge)
View.Update
x := round (x + velocity * timer * cosd (theta))
y := round (y + velocity * timer * sind (theta) - 0.5 * gravity * timer * timer)
timer := timer + 0.1
View.Update
exit when x >= 900
if x >= 700 and y >= 250 and y <= 350 then
cls
end if
end loop
end loop

i just cannot get the program to rerun and my if statements don't seem to work.

woo man, all my stuff is going all over the place an for a second, i couldn't find it.

There. After you used the Setscreen command, you exit the game to restart right? Well you needed to put the View.Update after you askt eh user for your Power/Angle again. I also threw in a CLS when you exit the loop (to clear everything), and I also made it so the x,y, and timer variables reset after entering the loop again. This was the thing screwing you up. You had "exit when x>900. After the first shot, X would still be over 900 unless you make it =0 again.

Code:


View.Set ("graphics:900;400,nobuttonbar") %frame manipulation
var pic : int := Pic.FileNew ("chucknorris3.jpg")
var pic2 : int := Pic.FileNew ("the world trade center.jpg")

Yea well you put it in the talk thread, after I made the Turing help thread soo....

It works like a charm now. When i went to post again in yours site, the thread still showed above what i am writing here. I don't know if that is an bug or not in your site. Just so you know. I don't know about the actual physics still because it still seems like it is going straight and not on an arc.

^ nah, that's just so you don't forgot what the last couple people said

what the other people said ends up on top of what i am writing in the the reply box

Here is the program finished to hand-in standards

I would give you the pictures, but i don't know how to upload them to you.

Cool.

To upload pictures this site has a really cool feature.

Simply click the "Host an Image" Button (Picture with a floppy disc in front of it) as you are typing your post, and you can automatically upload them.

You can also upload pictures by getting a photobucket account, ect.

I wanted to upload the picture file so you could try out my game. By the way, your help really helped me out a lot.

*Cracks knuckles, neck, leg, toes, and elbow bones*
yep all in a day\'s work.

As for the pictures, just upload em like I said.
It\'s easy

looool, check this out.

I made this today...

Save this picture in the same spot as the game.


Oh, and if you want a good challenge, simply go to this section:

scabecount := 1
View.Set (\"offscreenonly\")
setscreen (\"graphics:780;500,nobuttonbar\")

change the scabecount to.. say 100. Have fun.

----------

Also I just discovered the whole upload picture from this site doesn't work...

Just go to www.photobucket.com

Register there (it's free), and upload pictures. Then once the pic is uploaded, copy and past the [img] code, and paste it into your post.

How do i get a photobucket account? Also when go to upload picture it gives three options, thumbnail, image or image url. It has a url under each and a copy button beside each and an upload link on the bottom. Am i supposed to decide then click copy then click upload?

I got illegal character '\'
bolded was error

scabecount := 1
View.Set (\"offscreenonly\")
setscreen (\"graphics:780;500,nobuttonbar\")

loop
cls
picId := Pic.FileNew (\"hand.bmp\") %Pic must be in the same Folder as the Program
Pic.Draw (picId, handx, handy, picMerge) %X,and Y position of pic
Pic.Free (picId)

for x : 1 .. scabecount
drawfilloval (scabex (x), scabey (x), 2, 2, 4)
end for

locatexy (10, 10)
timecounter := timecounter + 1
put \"Time survived: \", tim ..

here is the pics

Cool. I'll play that. Oh, I and fixed mine as well. I have no idea where those slashes came from

Wierd.

Just copy the New code from the old spot

Anyways, I'm goin to bed, I got a splitting headache right now
