i have a casio fx2.0
im trying to make a shooting game and i dont know how to create stuff that u shoot (like enemies) and after i create then how do i make then dispear when i hit them

[Bob Vila]

if you are using basic, you might be able to do...

Locate x,y," "

x and y being whatever your coordinances are for the target. hope that helps

[miltonthemoose]

thanks i also want to know like if u do locate x,y"2" when i shoot that "2" how do i make it disapear?

[casiokingdom]

It isn't hard, i think you should look at the code of another game, similar to yours. that's the best way to learn.

BTW how long have you been programming for? As if you have just started, it's best to work on very simple progs.

good luck

thanks i also want to know like if u do locate x,y"2" when i shoot that "2" how do i make it disapear?

locate x,y,"2"

then locate x,y," "

peice of advise (and a plug) do a search on this forum for Casio BASIC Tutorial, it is a beginers guide to Casio BASIC and it should help you (its not done yet, but its far enough to help you i think).

as for your current problem try this as an example:

1->T
1->A
1->B
Lbl 1
if T=1
Then Locate A,B,"*"
Else Locate A,B,"*"
Locate A,B," "
EndIf
Getkey->G
if G=27
Then A+1->A
Else If G=28
Then B-1->B
Else if G=38
Then A-1->A
Else if G=37
Then B+1->B
Else If G=78
Then -T->T
EndIf:Endif:Endif:EndIf:EndIf
Goto 1

crimson you forgot the [shameles plug] tags!

BTW: all you are doing for the enemy to die is to clear his square. so plotting a space over it will clear it.

where can u buy that wire that u can connect ur calculator and computer so it can download programs? and what are they called?

[Bob Vila]

i think they are called the fa-122 cable. you can probably buy one off of ebay, there is a website out there, but i cant remeber it, but if you want to build one check out Andy's site for some good designs

[miltonthemoose]

thx

i just went on but there wasnt any on ebay

i have another question when i try to download programs some of the files have CAT files, is that what u use the cable on? and some have lots of these weird stuff that i cant figure out and no CAT nor TEXT files how do u download those? an example a one at http://www.ocf.berke...-platinumc.html how do u download that file?

[Bob Vila]

did you search in titles and descriptions? btw, which country do you live in?

[miltonthemoose]

i live in the us but i lived in japan for ten years since i was 3 im 14 right now i know my english is really bad

[Bob Vila]

i seen worse what state do you live in?

[CrimsonCasio]

CAT files are for add-ins, and you need the cable and add-in installer (or similar program) to install them, you cant look at them in text form cause they are packaged executables.

btw, where did you live in japan, I used to live in okinawa back in 3rd-5th grade. (I can still say good morning, but thats about it )

well, if you want to find a link cable for a reasonable price, go to Charlie Watson.

i bought my link cable from there, and it works for both AFX and CFX calcs.

So, how long have you had your calc for?

[Andy.Davies]

@crimson: CAT files arnt just for add ins, in fact, i have never seen an addin with a .CAT format. .CAT files are the pc's format for BASIC a .CAT format can be read by FA123, and CasioCOM, and transferd using the link cable.

[CrimsonCasio]

sorry iwas was thinking .cfx format.

CK, is Charlie Watson still working from Christmas to New Years? I've decided to buy one off him but one question, what did you do about the 25 pin cable, did you buy an adaptor? And how can I be sure it works, after all I need a cable because my 'official' one broke.

Milton, when you start programming, just do everything logically using If Then Else IfEnd statements. Later on programming gets really annoying as there are some simple things that are nearly impossible to do. For that, I used casiokingdom's idea and copied other programs. Right now, I'm working on a Myst/Riven/Exile style RPG but I'm no good at drawing pictures. Where is the author of Deathtrap Dungeon?

[casiokingdom]

Genesis, i'm not sure, you should check the website.

i bought my adapter from charlie watson, there is a tick box on the order form.

And the cable and adapter works, well for me...besides, you can always return it if it is faulty. i think his home (office) is in Wembley.

platinum is an executable (like the ones for the PC) that can be installed like the casio programs.
You msut use either Flash100 / FlashCOM or Casio ADD-IN Installer. This programs are
installed on the flash.
