Dear All,

I'm trying to draw boxes on the screen, working from the middle to the outside top and bottom, and rotate the colour through it, like if you were flying into space, if that makes sense, but it draws the boxes but doesn't scroll the colours? What am I doing wrong?

Regards
Paul

+ Code Snippet


for g = 1 to 20
colbars(g) = rgb(rnd(255),rnd(255),rnd(255))
next g

box1x1=0
box1x2 = screen_res_x
box1y1 = (screen_res_y/2)-1
box1y2 = (screen_res_y/2)
box2x1=0
box2x2 = screen_res_x
box2y1 = (screen_res_y/2)+1
box2y2 = (screen_res_y/2)


do
a = spacekey()
if a = 1 then exit
gosub scrollcolours

for g = 1 to 20
ink colbars(g),rgb(0,0,0)
box box1x1,box1y1,box1x2,box1y2
box1y1=box1y1-(g*5)
box1y2=box1y2-(g*2)
ink colbars(g),rgb(0,0,0)
box box2x1,box2y1,box2x2,box2y2
box2y1=box2y1+(g*2)
box2y2=box2y2+(g*5)
next g
sync
loop
end

scrollcolours:
a1 = colbars(1)
for g = 1 to 19
colbars(g) = colbars(g+1)
next g
colbars(20) = a1
return

Don't jump, if you do you will only fall, and hurt yourself

Doh....

A simple Cls is what is missing.

Hallo PeeJayGee... I had a look to your code...but just a black screen ...I try to mend it and was even worst...I made this short piece of code ... I think, that perhaps you should color object by:

color object( xxx) rgb(rnd(255),rnd(255),rnd(255))

Cheers.

+ Code Snippet

autocam off
sync on
for i= 1 to 1300
make object box i,5,5,5
color object i,rgb(rnd(255),rnd(255),rnd(255))
position object i,-150+rnd(300),rnd(300),rnd(1300)
next i
position camera 80,150,-150
point camera 0,150,0

do
for i= 1 to 1300
if rnd(300)=2
position object i,-150+rnd(300),rnd(300),rnd(1300)
endif
next i

for i= 1 to 1300
zrotate object i,rnd(226)
move object i,-5
next i

sync
loop

oh my god
