Total Posts: 17 | In a program I make, how do I show a persons health, equiptment, and money?
Also, if the character goes to a shop and buys something, how do I get that $ amount to be deducted from his total $$
Ex.
What do you want to buy?
Sword: 50$
Shield: 25$
Boomerang: 15$
Spear: 60$
You bought the Sword for 50$, you now how X$ left

And how can I make enemies in a game? |

Total Posts: 134 | first of all, you need to assign different variables to different things. (i.e. Health=H, Equipment=E, Money=M, etc.) the easiest way to make a shop is to make a menu game (which is what i assume you are doing). therefore, your program should look something like this:
100->H
50->M
LblA
Menu("Buy?","Sword 50",S,"Shield 25",H,"Boomerang 15",B,"Spear 60",P
End
Lbl S
M-50->M
Disp "You just bought the sword for 50 dollars
Disp "Money Remaining=
Disp M
Goto A
Lbl H
M-25->M
Disp "You just bought the shield for 25 dollars
Disp "Money Remaining=
Disp M
Goto A
etc.
etc.
etc.
the first two lines set your variables equal to whatever you want them to be in this case. the lbl A is just a reference point that you can use as sort of a loop to send the players wherever they want to go. in the menu, the first item "Buy?" is just a title for the top of the screen. the remaining items (i.e. "Sword 50", S) will send users to the specified label for whatever choice they want. in the label areas, you must specify a formula which you want the user to follow (if they buy a sword for 50 bucks, you subtract 50 from the money total). the disp function displays text or varible values. for words, you must use quotes, but to display the value which M equals, you simply put M. there are other factors in making a game of course (making it so they can't spend more than they have, making the displayed words short enough for one line, etc.) but this is the basic idea.

Total Posts: 134 | to make a tank like figure, you need to design some graphics of your own. since you are using basic on a ti-83+, this means you are very very limited. the easiest thing to do is to use a letter as the shape of your tank. before this, you must master the getkey( function, the If Then Else And Or functions, and so much more. personally, i recommend that you make a menu-based game first to master the bare minimum things. after this, look at the source of another game and see if you can understand what it is saying. if so, try making something similar to it. tutorials and calcgames.org forums can help you get started with these sort of things, but we can't do it for you. some things you have got to master for yourself. |
