Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/16/2023 4:02 AMCopy HTML Please check previous page, then come back to this. ========================================= When you CUT the printscreen pic, the image disappears onto the clipboard. That's why you need a second pic in MS-PAINT. Shrink the default window in second NEW pic till it is less than the cut, before pasting. The cut will over-ride that. Otherwise your cut has a wide border, so in effect .. NO CUT. |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/17/2023 3:21 AMCopy HTML Yes, yes, I know about shrinking the window and cutting the printscreen on Paint. Have done that many times. I will see what I can do when I have a bit more time. Thanks, Dave. |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/18/2023 4:07 PMCopy HTML ZENITH'S COLOR TUTORIAL The hexadecimal (base-16) color system uses 16 single-digit numbers. 00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,15 decimal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F hexadecimal Hexadecimal number format is: #RrGgBb usually in steps of 33 hex ... max FF RGB color format is: rgb(R ,G ,B ) usually in steps of 51 dec ... max 255 Kid's paint set primaries are RED, YELLOW, and BLUE Light-mixed primary colors are red, green, and blue. red and green = yellow red and blue = magenta green and blue = cyan red and green and blue = gray #808080, or other equal numbers Max gray = white #FFFFFF Min gray = black #000000 As numbers go down the colors get darker. Browsers differ, but normally they agree on steps of 33Hex or 51Decimal. These steps are separated fairly well. Colors off by 1 unit are tough to tell apart. Check out colors at: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp I copied this from GENERAL It's good to have this clear so you basically can tell colors without lookup tables. Use CTRL-PLUS to expand text size for reading this. CONCEIVE, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE!

Change text to match situation. A string needs 'single quotes'. Add N + 'string' for responses, where N is a float, like N + ' = the answer.' f is the user number, and n is the converted number. 1 foot is exactly 0.3048 meters CONCEIVE, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE!

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/30/2023 1:27 AMCopy HTML The final result is very good, Dave, but the rest is Greek to me. Didn't even know what you were trying to do. |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/30/2023 2:26 PMCopy HTML It's algebra. You want to wind up with: number_of_ meters = k x number_of_feet where k=0.3048 The only line besides text to change is the one with the formula in it. The rest can stay the same. Change var n = (f-32)/1.8; to convert feet to meters. The n is a variable, like a container, preceded by var, and will hold the answer The f is the text number container that the user input, converted to a decimal number. So we dump the calculation for centigrade and re-use the f. NOTE: The user input a WORD that stands for a number, like "thirty-three", but looks like "33". What we need is 33 with no quotes. var f = parseFloat("33"); does that, and now var f = 33.0000 So now in the conversion line from feet to meters we have var n = 0.3048 * f. * means "times" in comp language math, because x can be used as a variable and would be confusing. Except for changing text to tell whats happening, n is the answer. All the funny stuff with rounding, etc stays the same. Just tell the user what c and f are in this case. n is really same as c, but n has about a dozen decimal places in the tail and c has 2. Please re-read the tut, noting that I edited the remarks to be green and blue, and see if it is clearer now. Your last javascript line will be: not alert(f + 'F is ' + c + 'C'); but alert(f + ' FEET is ' + c + ' METERS'); f and c can be anything, like m could stand for meters, but change them EVERYWHERE. The comp doesn't care what you call variables, but the guy reading the code might. Like, "How come the coder used c for meters? Did he mean centimeters?" |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/30/2023 10:54 PMCopy HTML Re friend's site .. his is BBC. Javascript mates with HTML, not BBC. If he can turn on HTML, javascript should work. "My" (not owner) forumotion group takes both, but BBC works better for my games there, and only in Firefox. HTML works for non-copied headers. Anything copied in HTML loses borders. |

Thanks for all this, Dave.
My friend was Foxy who very recently passed away, but her ProBoards group is still going strong. You're right, that group uses BBC, and I'm sure HTML is not turned on. Many things that work in Aimoo will not work in that group.
It seems strange to me that some things work, and some don't, depending on the browser. |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/31/2023 4:46 AMCopy HTML There are a couple of Moderators. I have asked the one most likely to take over if she has all the powers of the former owner. She didn't answer positively, so I have my doubts. She has been in contact with the ProBoards administrator, though. I suspect she will eventually become the owner, with full access. |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:03/31/2023 3:28 PMCopy HTML I went to Fantasy Castle and read the Smallest Dragon-rider story, last night, as a visitor. Browsers dick around with the code to suit themselves. Add stuff, re-arrange it, eff-it-up, usually! If they break on a hyphen, it fractures the one-line rule for styles. |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:04/03/2023 12:30 AMCopy HTML Hi, Joe: You may like to get back to making your own banners! OBJECTIVE: We will first make a blank scroll pic ready to put the name on. WORK AREA: Make a work folder and drop in a "blank.txt". You can put the HTML code in this and save it as "make-banner.htm", or your choice. IMAGES: Copy the scroll image (above) into the folder. Copy the hero cartoon (above) into the folder. Give the images simple names like "scroll.gif" and "toon.jpg". Flip the hero cartoon and save. Call the one you want on the left "toon-L.jpg" and the other "toon-R.jpg". Note that they are 170px tall. HTML PIC ARRANGER: This provides a box with various dimensions in it. We will arrange the pics in this box as toon-L, scroll, and toon-R. The HTML code is: <!-- Put style on one line --> <!-- The div width is sum of pics inside, plus a bit more for spacing. You can fiddle with dimensions till you get it like you want it. --> <br /><br /> <div style=" margin:0px auto; text-align:center; width:660px; height:auto; border:1px solid black; "> <!-- next is top blank --> <div style="height:5px;"></div> <!-- next are the images --> <img src="toon-L.jpg"> <img src="scroll.gif"> <img src="toon-R.jpg"> <!-- next is bottom blank --> <div style="height:5px;"></div> </div> When everything is laid out nicely, do a CTRL-PRINT_SCREEN into CLIPBOARD. Then drop the CLIPBOARD into MS-PAINT. Crop it and save it, maybe as hero-banner.jpg, or whatever. INSERT HOSTED PIC: Copy a banner code you used on 40s5. Change the: background-image:url('xxx'); to your hosted pic address. All done, except recipient's name and/or color change. There's a way to raise and lower the name to center it on the scroll. <div style="height: 60px;"> </div> 9px is about 1/8 inch, but this may depend on your windows setup. CONCEIVE, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE!

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:04/03/2023 12:52 AMCopy HTML You can get other cartoons or whatever online, and make a few more as practice. Keep the height about 170px. The width can vary. The div width is about twice toon width + 360px. Fiddle with it if it's a bit off after checking. You can experiment with changing the original scroll color. Suggest using blu-scroll.gif, grn-scroll.gif, etc. It can also be a jpg. Maybe use something other than a scroll, if you can get something suitable. |

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:04/04/2023 4:49 AMCopy HTML I spent an enjoyable afternoon and evening creating a CLUEDO game maker. It reads a list of hosted characters, items, and locations, shuffles them and produces a fully functional random aimoo game within 2 or 3 seconds after I name it. The host is https://i.postimg, so it won't show up in chrome, but then, people here are not using it anyway. I had used postimg for a BBC version, and didn't want to move the pics to freeimage since all players here can see them. First I had to debug a hand-made one, since aimoo ed kicks the sh!t out of whatever works on desktop. Then I used it as a template. It took about 9 hours to do the job. I won't show the code .. LOL. (Unless you beg me! It has triple arrays in it ...)

Re:Game Code Development Area Date Posted:04/04/2023 3:03 PMCopy HTML It doesn't take much to bugger-up code. The = vs : for html vs css has got me before too. Also forgetting the hyphen, and the &llt; thing. Use the &llt; thing when you DON'T want code to work, like in a tutorial. If the background-color thing was put into the TD style, instead of the SPAN, the whole TD would turn dark blue/purple instead of what is currently showing. If you moved color also, you can get rid of the SPAN. Also, instead of trying to fix a foul-up, copy the good code from a previous post, and re-play what the other players did! |
