I have to admit, shooting a bow while flying a jetpack is pretty fun

How would you program a bow to work?

It's a fairly good piece of code. you have to do something like if you press the L button then a variable is equal to 1. then if that variable is equal to one it makes the arrows Y location stay the same but the X location is increased each tick. then once the arrows X location is like 400 greater than the characters X location when fired the variable at the beginning is equal to 0 setting up the

bow to get ready to be shot again. It pretty complicated :)

Hey Josiah, I was going to add one more thing before I release the beta for this game, knowing that you are a very experienced programer, I was wondering if you are willing to help me. cx

Sure, I help to the best of my ability. :)

BTW how long have you had smileBASiC?

Ever since mid March I think. Anyways, I want to make it so when I type in a color for the slime (The only available colors now are Blue Red Green and Yellow), it'll stay that color forever until you restart the game. So say I pick red, then the slime would be red the whole game, and it's the same for the other colors. Do you know how to do that?

r u christian josiah?

You could make the program load a new sprite sheet with the slime colored different in each or I believe you can use the spcolor command at different areas in your code (tell me if this helps). And yes, I am a Christian :)

me to

which bible do u believe in? (for me it's kjv)

Me too. Give me nothing but the good old KJV! :)

I'm Christian!

That's good, it's nice to meet other Christians on miiverse :-]

Well, I already have spcolor, I was just wondering how you would make it so that it stays the color you choose stay that color until you reset it. Btw Happy Easter! :)

Wait, sorry, so do you still need help or did you fix it?

I still need help. Btw how has your Easter been going? :)

Good, yours? and what do you need help with, the coloring still?

Mine is going great! My brother brought over his puppy. x) Its not the coloring I need help with, its how to make it that color I pick stay the same for the rest of the game.

So, what I am guessing is that you must have a clearing command of some sort like ACLS. I tried the spcolor command in a program of mine and it stayed the same color the whole time. so I am guessing it must have a clear in there somewhere and if you don't know how to keep the same color after a clear try making the color code a variable. I think this explains it? tell me if so :)

Sort of... But I think I figured something out.

ok, tell me if you need anymore help

Nvm, I think I screwed it up. xD I need help, not with the colors, but how to make the color last until I restart the game. Here's an example: "What color do you want your slime to be? (RED, GREEN, BLUE, or YELLOW) _" (The "_" is where you type your color) And when you pick that color, thats the color of the slime. And if I want to change it, I restart it and go back to this message.

The color should last the whole game unless you reset the color or add an acls. If you want to reset your color do SPCOLOR 0,RGB(1000,1000,1000)

How do you make it so people can save their data?

Btw, I made a game if you want to try it out. Im gonna need a lot of help if you're up for it. :)

Sorry, I don't think I can help you with the save feature. I never did that sort of thing for my games. :) also what's the game you made?

Its called Slime Simulator. Go to my posts to see the key if ya want to play it. :D
