Hi,
Does anyone know of an algorithm that will display characters and =
numbers in a sequencial fashion,
with a slight delay in between each character, "just like in the =
movies". I was hoping someone could
just kind of point me in the right direction, I just have no idea how to =
approach it...should I try to
use the time() function to cause the delay? Because I want it to work on =
any machine, regardless of
speed.
Thanks in advance,
JDUBE

procedure delay(integer pause)
--pause is the number of seconds to delay,
--i use a while loop instead of sleep() as that
--allows subsecond precision.
t = time() + pause
while time() < t do
--waiting ... watching ... changing ;]
end while
end procedure
global function putsy(integer h, sequence text)
--passing h as an integer lets it work on other things beside the
--screen, not sure why you'd want to do this tho ...
if h = -1 then
--return error
return -1
end if
for i = 1 to length(text) do
puts(h, text[i])
delay(5) --pause every 5 seconds (use rand() if you want a random pause)
end for
--return success
return 0
end function

well, JDUBE, one algorithm wont really solve it, you need a series of algorithms
to perform this, in fact, i have written a 'matrix' demo to show how to do this.
i used sched.e from LangWar to schedule each column to move down the screen...
included is the zip file, and i am uploading it to Rob also, so he should post
it soon!

4. Re: just like the movies
-Hey,
Thanks, I wanted the delay to be shorter so I just set it to one,
then divided by five. Im just building up some concept ideas for
an sci-fi adventure game I want to build( How the look and feel of
the interface will be. )These functions will come in handy. BTW the
"matrix" type output is pretty awesome.
Thanks all,
JDUBE
