Hello I am new to DarkBASIC Pro and would like to ask a simple question. I was experimenting with user defined types and came up with this.


alieninfo as mytype
Type mytype
xcoords
ycoords
EndType

load image "ani-invader.bmp",1

do
if upkey()=1 then alieninfo.ycoords=-1
if downkey()=1 then alieninfo.ycoords=+1
if rightkey()=1 then alieninfo.xcoords=+1
if leftkey()=1 then alieninfo.xcoords=-1
sprite 1,0,0,1
spritex=sprite x(1)+alieninfo.xcoords
spritey=sprite y(1)+alieninfo.ycoords
paste sprite 1,spritex,spritey

loop



My only problem is that I can only move the sprite 1 space to up, down, left or right. I know there must be a simple solution to this.

PS: I've noticed that other code snippets on the fourm are seen by pressing +code snippet. How is that done?

The problem is that you are never changing the x and y coords values. See the source code I attached to this message which is a modification of yours which works

I hope you can see what i've done.

Also, you don't need all that paste sprite stuff. Again, see my code (click the SOURCE button on this thread).

Cheers,

Oh I see what my problem was.

Thanks for solving my problems

The answer to your other question is:

1) Click 'code' (top right of 'Post Message' window)

2) Write or paste your code.

3) Click 'code' again

Then carry on with your message as before
