I was trying to make a matrix thingy and as I was trying it out, I came to a problem I cannot fix. Here is my program so far.

Quote:

setscreen ("graphics:v16")
var count, num : int
count := 0

cls
color(10)
loop
count := count + 1
randint (num, 0, 1)

locate (count, 1)
put num
delay(50)
end loop

As I tried to run it, a problem comes up saying:
"Row greater than maxrow"
I am using version 3.1.1A and have also tried the newest version of winOOT but it still does not work. Pls help. Paul Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2004 8:12 pm   Post subject: (No subject)

you didnt stop the row from increasing past max
something like this
 code: setscreen ("graphics:v16") var count,count2, num : int count := 0 count2:=1 cls color(10) loop count := count + 1 randint (num, 0, 1) if count = maxrow then count:=1 count2:=count2+1 end if locate (count, count2) put num delay(50) end loop

or
 code: setscreen ("graphics:v16") var count,count2, num : int count := 0 count2:=1 cls color(10) loop count := count + 1 randint (num, 0, 1) if count = maxrow then count:=1 randint (count2, 1, maxcol) end if locate (count, count2) put num delay(50) end loop

Im really not an expert at this sort of thing, and Im lazy jonos Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2004 8:19 pm   Post subject: (No subject)

nice start. but lets start over.

the reason you are getting that error is because turing will not draw text off the screen, so if you have a max number of rows of 10, turing will not print something on a row of 11 because that doesn't show up on the screen.

to get past this problem you could just get rid of:

locate(count, 1) because without it is is doing the exact same thing.

play around with that, and when you figure it out, try this code:

 code: setscreen ("graphics:500;500,nobuttonbar")%makes size of screen, gets rid of button bar which is a stupid part of turing most of the time var num : int %the randint variable var line : string := ""% makes and initializes a variable which will be our string color (10)%sets text colour to lime green colorback (7)%sets background colour to black cls loop     for counter : 1 .. maxcol %sets a counter that will make one character (0 or 1) for each column for the whole screen across (so the charactesr fill up the whole screen)         randint (num, 0, 1)%makes random integer         line := line + intstr(num)%makes the line of numbers, intstr(num) converts the num variable to a string so that we can cancatenate     end for     put line %puts the line we made of random numbers     line := "" %%resets the line variable so that its a whole new combo of 1s and 0s     delay (25) end loop

keep programming, and when you get better head on over to other basics to start blitz basic and be cool like everyone else in there.

Catylst made some crazy matrix program a while back, check it out for ideas, and maybe you can personal message him if you need some help. recneps Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2004 1:34 pm   Post subject: (No subject)

or, even simpler, just remove the locate line
and add .. to the end of the put, so it becomes
 code: setscreen ("graphics:v16") var count, num : int count := 0 cls color(10) loop count := count + 1 randint (num, 0, 1) locate (count, 1) put num delay(50) end loop

And that way turing makes it go the the next line when it finishes it looks cool like this too code: setscreen ("graphics:v16") var count, num : int count := 0 cls colourback(7) color(10) loop count := count + 1 randint (num, 0, 1) put num.. end loop jonos Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2004 3:50 pm   Post subject: (No subject)

the problem with that one is that it kindof shows the line being made at the bottom... mine doesn't, buts its longer code, so it cancels out. Jekate Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2004 6:36 pm   Post subject: (No subject)

Thanx for the help but it doesn't really fit in with what I would like it to do. I am still trying t figure out how to fix it.
I have fixed the "row greater then maxrow" bit but then I came over another problem. As soon as it starts scrolling down the screen, it starts to go very very fast. I don't want that.

This is what I got so far. Scince I do not know how to do arrays and things, I have to state each variable. I haven't put a fork for each variable yet, this is still not finished.

There are some smilies in this but they are not suppose to be. You can probably guess what is suppose to fit in where the smilies are.

Also, is there a way to stop everything that is happening in the program. So let's say I have a couple of loops going, songs, and other things going. Is there a command to stop the loops and everything but still keep the program going so I can put more.

dont use processes, because turing will just mess with those. you should try to use loops to do what you want.

but your last questions: you can use exit for your loops to stop a loop.

anyways, don't use locate() because that is the problem that the program is not continueing. you should just let the text do it itself (moving down the run window), but you are using processes, so that may not be possible. I highly suggest you don't use processes, you can do the same thing with a loop (probably i haven't looked at your code at length).

as for your speed problem, you could use delay(), but as you are using processes, that may mess it up.

explain what you want in detail and then we may be able to be more effective in our help.
