hello there

could anybody help on how to do a routine so that a randomly placed character "*" comes on the screen then stays on for a timed period and randomly prints somewhere else on the screen in a loop without affecting the controls of the game

thanks your help would be appreciated

Hi,

How about something like this?

+ Code Snippet

sync on:sync rate 60

x=screen width()/2

go=1
gosub get_random

do
cls

text 0,0,str$(count)

text rndx,rndy,"*"

if go=1
   inc count,1
   if count=100
      gosub get_random
      go=1
      count=0
   endif
endif

if rnd(500)=1 and go=0 then go=1

if leftkey()=1 then dec x,1
if rightkey()=1 then inc x,1
center text x,460,"<Player>"

sync
loop

get_random:
rndx=rnd(640)
rndy=rnd(480)
return

Hope it helps,
Cheers.
