I am a bit a head of my self, but does anyone have a snippet of code - short and easy - that could help me draw, contouer, or color a rotating sphere to show the rotation better.
I have been working with DIM today, and I am able to use the command to shoot and maitain my gun turret-on screen, while shooting. I do not understand why I need to use the DIM command with GoSub to maintain My "GUN TURRET" while shooting. I tried everything I could remember from "GW Basic" and it just don't work. I must use the DIM command. I do not understand (DIM) that well.
Could anyone explain DIM to me? I understand DIM = Demention. I understand Arrays a little, But I can not understand Why I must go to the trouble of using the Array Command to maintain a simple "Gun Turret" on screen while shooting. I tried every combination of Cls, and Sleep, but my "Turret" vanished while shooting I tried other stuff I will ask about later. Thanks Folks. I drank beer and can't spell at the present. JG

the old question DBC or DBPro, can't realy help if your are DBC, if your DBPro and you are using sprites or object's then try using the turn command

eg turn sprite left spritenumber, angle
turn object left objectnumber, angle

in code would look like so:
TURN OBJECT left 1, wrapvalue(360)+0.1
turn sprite right 1, wrapvalue(360)+0.4

this take object 1 and will turn it around untill it hit 360 the reset ready to go round again, the +0.1 is the amount it moves around by whole number very fast, small slow.

see how you get on, if not clear post again and we'll see what can be done.

DIM=dimension
Demention is probably linked to dementure and I don't think that is what you are looking for!

DIM is used to create a memory block which is refared to by the name you give it. in darkbasic it isnt needed for this as the compiler will make them for you which means you can do this:

whilst in other programming languages you must tell the compiler what it is by using DIM number as integer or whatever.

in darkbasic its use is mainly for arrays so i would think your code is dependent on an array. if you post your code im sure someone could tell you why it is needed in your code.

If you make something an array, dos't it automatically become global? Maybe its a global/local varible problem.
