OK, here's an example. It's just about the same as you would write in in
QBasic. The
get_key()
routine is the same as ASC(INKEY$()). The code should be pretty
self-explanatory
-- David Cuny
-- the cursor() statement
include graphics.e
integer key, x, y, newX, newY, updated
-- force the screen to update
updated = 1
-- position of the 'ship'
x = 10
y = 10
-- these duplicate x and y
newX = x
newY = y
constant
-- key codes
None = -1,
Esc = 27,
Up = 328,
Down = 336,
Left = 331,
Right = 333,
-- screen limits
MinX = 1,
MaxX = 25,
MinY = 1,
MaxY = 64,
-- true and false
True = 1,
False = 0
-- erase the screen
clear_screen()
-- hide cursor
cursor( NO_CURSOR )
-- infinite loop; press Esc to exit
while 1 do
-- get a key
key = get_key()
-- translate the key
if key = None then
-- no key press, ignore
elsif key = Esc then
-- break key, leave loop
exit
elsif key = Up then
-- up key, move up if there's room
if x > MinX then
newX = x - 1
updated = True
end if
elsif key = Down then
-- down key, move down if there's room
if x < MaxX then
newX = x + 1
updated = True
end if
elsif key = Left then
-- left key, move left if there's room
if y > MinY then
newY = y - 1
updated = True
end if
elsif key = Right then
-- right key, move right if there's room
if y < MaxY then
newY = y + 1
updated = True
end if
else
-- key isn't handled
-- display it for debugging
position( 1, 1 )
? key
end if
-- need to redraw the screen?
if updated = True then
-- erase old image
position( x, y )
puts( 1, " " )
-- get the new position
x = newX
y = newY
-- draw new image
position( x, y )
puts( 1, "<-*->" )
-- clear the update screen flag
updated = False
end if
end while
3. Re: good and bad news (object)
Mr.Greyling..
I can understand your pain and frustration but patience is a virtue..
programming in general can be farely frustrating and game programming is way
worse believe me. one thing you should consider is that game programming, as
well as any other type of programming, after you've learned the language is
more about theory and process than about the actual code, maybe this is your
source of frustrations? I suggest that before you go to program something
you should write down a diagram on a piece of paper (flow charts?) or write
down simple statements and translate those statments into code like such :
Moves an object around the screen based on user input
get a key from the keyboard
if the key is the key for up move the object up by 1
" " down by 1
etc..
etc..
I hope that this helps you in your future programming adventures..

Dude, you want somebody to write the program for you? I didn't think =
so... so you'll have to use the resources available to STUDY and LEARN =
and EDUCATE yourself in this regard.
Moving something around on the screen is what I would call a novice =
task. It's easy to do. Basically you draw the thing, erase it, draw it =
in the next location. There are enough libraries available for this so =
you don't even have to reinvent the wheel. But a program won't write =
itself for you... that means YOU have to do some learning and working.
If you need to, start at the BEGINNING. You don't become a "game =
programmer" overnight.
