I can't draw a picture for my basic game in AFX 2.0+ Please help me !

[Mohamed]

You could draw it on the PC and transfer it easily!
Just open your paint brush, and change the attributes to 128*64 pixels and draw it.
Then save it as a monochrome picture, and send it to the calculator from FA-123.

I dont think that works for basic... I would download one of those drawing programs and use that. try casio programs avenue.

Can I load it to my basic game ? How ?

[PJay]

:r-t-f-m: (read the f***ing manual)...
there is a special command on the cfx if i remember right called "RclPict #"...
just look in the casio manual, i think everything is explained there very well...

What about location of it ?

[ross8653]

what do you mean?

[PJay]

I found "RclPict #" ! But there isn't any parameter for location of the picture !
I don't want to use 2 or more pictures ! Because they need a space on memory !

[huhn_m]

The # indicates the number of the picture wich is stored in memory.
If you have the image on Picture 6 you must use:

RclPict 6

But i don't understand what you ment with the rest of your post ...

[CrimsonCasio]

you use StoPict # to store a picture and RclPict # to show it on the screen.

[PJay]

NO ! for example (a picture of a car) : I send a picture to AFX 2.0+ with FA-123 -> (Pict 1) . In general at first the location of "Pict 1" is (1,1) . But I want to change it to (5,1) or ... . Can I change it ?

[CrimsonCasio]

if I understand correctly, you want to move pict 1 to pict 5 correct? to do that just RclPict 1 then StoPict 5, then in the System Manager hit F1' /> and scroll down to picture, then hit F1' /> Again, and type 1' /> then EXE' />

[PJay]

NO ! I want to move "Pict 1" ONLY in SCREEN of AFX 2.0+ !
If this is a car -> "^" then :

---------------------------------



^
(Speed:10 KPH)
---------------------------------

THEN :
---------------------------------

^


(Speed:50 KPH)
---------------------------------

Also "^" should be a picture, for example : "Pict 1"
?

oh, I see... unfortunately there is no way to do that . i sure wish there was...

[PJay]

But in game this function can run !

[Mohamed]

In games they draw a character, and locate it in different positions, not move a picture.
You could for example try the Locate command (look in the manual)
I guess the format was Locate 1,5,"^"

You need to read Crimsons' Basic tutorials (search for them in the forum) and you also need to read the code of other games and programs, it's very useful to learn techniques used in other games by other people.

Good luck.

[PJay]

I read all of them ! ( for example : Highway , But it isn't a basic program ! ) ?

[Roeoender]

Highway was made in C language (made by Ritchie&Kerninghan, they also developed the UNIX system).
Currently C programs be run only on Casio AFX 1.0,2.0,2.0+ (generally AFX) calculators.
I see from your profile that you have an AFX type calculator, good but right now I think that you shouldn't be bothered by C programming it is far more difficult to make a game (you will have to write your own functions to set graphics mode, draw a pixel, plot a sprite and so on).
You can allways learn C just for the PC, but this is out of the limitations of this forum, there are a lot of tutorials and manuals for learning C on the net.

Right now I think you should master the BASIC language you can also read about C and ASM (assembly language) just to see what is what.

BTW People didn't understand you because you didn't post that you mean a C code, not BASIC.
But anyway people by this part you should know what he meaned:

In general at first the location of "Pict 1" is (1,1) . But I want to change it to (5,1)

Shame on you!

I said :

( for example : Highway , But it isn't a basic program !  )

and I don't know that BASIC language don't have this possible !
and this sentence isn't good ! "Shame on you!"

[Roeoender]

the "shame" (which is grammatically correct) part wasn't to you but to the people who didn't understand your question (not important anyway).

Do C programs run on CP300 ?

[Bob Vila]

i think so

[CrimsonCasio]

yes, but only after somebody like bitwise figgures them out, and he cant do that untill casio releases one.
