since every1 in school is making pong with macromedia flash i decided to make it with casio but i dont know how to do the graph i know that it wont where with locate plz help

[CrimsonCasio]

the equivalent of Locate on the graph is Text, but the sentax is Text Y,X,"whatever" instead of Locate X,Y,"whatever"

[miltonthemoose]

im confused i dont get the length. so i need to use text thats all right

like for locate its

1,1, 21,1,




1,7, 21,7,
thats the limit for locate right(i think)
whats the limit for text and how do i use getkey to move the paddle?

[CrimsonCasio]

try this:

Text 1,1,"hi"
Text 7,1,"hello"
For 1->T to 127 Step 2
Text 13,T," Bye!"
Next

[miltonthemoose]

thx ill do that when i get home
i still dont get how long u can make the
TEXT X,Y,
like is there a limit how long u can make it?
and is it the same way as locate with get key do u

1->X
5->Y
Text X,Y,"="
Lbl 0
If Getkey=52
Then Clrtext
X+1->X
Text X,Y,"="
Ifend
goto 0

and how is the text aranged just like locate?
7 by 21?

[CrimsonCasio]

it would be like this instead:

Lbl 0
If Getkey=52
Then Cls //or ClrGraph, Cls is faster i think but clear graph is good to use once at the begining of the program
X+1->X
Text Y,X,"="
Ifend
goto 0

the X max is 127 and the Y max is 63. the positioning is done by pixels so moving X+1->X will move it very little, you can move it by 6 (X+6->X) to make it seem more like Locate.

IMPORTANT: Note that it is Text Y,X,"="

[Andy.Davies]

i you place the Y coordinate at 56 ish then it places the text at the bottom of the screen, about where the F buttons go.

ahh... Pong. Its been a while. Maybe i should try again

[miltonthemoose]

can i get rid of the X and Y axes?

[CrimsonCasio]

yes, CTRL' />F3' />F4' />7' />2' />

that will improve the speed by the way.

[casiokingdom]

hmm, is text or graph mode faster for pong on the AFX??

[genesis]

ViewWindow 1,127,0,63,1,0 takes away the need to bother about grids and axes while clearing the screen but about the grids/axes/co-ords/labels, I'll test it with/without them for speed.

@ casiokingdom, apparently graph mode is faster, Secret of Aan is slow on an AFX and Sprite is slow on a CFX.

Text goes up to 58 vertically but it depends how wide the letters are horizontally. X+1->X can be Isz X. Just a small question: do you think a board game on CFX would be any good?

[CrimsonCasio]

sure, just as long as its a go one. Ive been thinking about making stratego for some time, but the AI for that would be nearly impossible, it would have to be 2 players.

[miltonthemoose]

i dont understand view window either

[CrimsonCasio]

the sentax for ViewWindow is:

ViewWindow Xmin,Xmax,Xscale,Ymin,Ymax,Yscale

the default (ClrGraph sets it to this) ViewWindow -6.3,6.3,1,-3.1,3.1,1

so basically if you do:

Horizontal -3.1
Horizontal 3.1
Vertical -6.3
Vertical 6.3

you will make a box arround the screen.

i think i need to read more before i make pong games

[CrimsonCasio]

lol, try making a etch-a-sketch. and make sure you have read my Casio BASIC Tutorial! also, download a few programs and look at their source code.

[miltonthemoose]
