Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

I have finally been able to understand the parts discussed (took a lot of time reading and re-reading though). Now I'm finished :)

I want to send you the text so you can check if it's good enough for you. It's of course in Swedish, but with Google Translate it should be comprehensible.

Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

I see! I simply thought that since you had defined 1 timepassed as 1000 timeunits, and 1000 timeunits is one second, then 4 timepassed must be 4 seconds long. So this rather mean that since the REPEAT - LOOP wait for 4 time units, the program gets updated 250 times/second? And from what I understood...

Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

I'm sorry, but the more I try to read the text and understand this part, the less I get it. I understand that this has something to do with time, but I really don't understand what this part actually do or how it calculates time.

Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

I'm almost finished with the translation. It has been a pain since sometimes I've had huge problem simply understanding the code, and therefore not been able to understand how to explain it. But I'm stuck at one place: Repeat timepassed = GetTimer(1) Until timepassed > 3 ResetTimer(1) timepassed = t...

Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

I have just tested everything and it works :) It's not the prettiest Pong game for sure, but it's a really good beginners guide. I will make some changes in order for it to work better as an article.

Is it possible though to lower the screen resolution? Not everyone has such big screens I think.

Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

Just tried it out and it works fine. No bugs here, just a guy not knowing better :P

Great! Please write it here when you have done the changes and I will try it out from the start again.

Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

What is most important is that the reader doesn't have to guess why things look different from the example text to the final text. Remember, we are doing this for absolute beginners. They (I) will not the able to understand what's wrong. It doesn't matter if you use debugprint or print as long as it...

Re: Simple PONG-game tutorial for Beginner Coders

I have started to seriously look into the code (I was abroad for 3 weeks) and I'm having a problem. Your examples, like: hillbillybilly = 1 ceo = "Bill McEwen" agentx = "James Bond" print(hillbillybilly) print(ceo) print(agentx) Shows every one of the inputs as seperate lines. Bu...
