Need any advice for new program.

Rthprog is correct. You can also optimize this:

Yeah, but qazz said he can't understand optimized code, so I was trying to avoid that.

no, no im not using sourcecoder's code, im sticking to the code im using...


ALSO!!

I finished the game, once someone explains how to use the code tag il put it here so you can say how much of a better programmer you are

Only thing i need help with is how to slow down the enemy but you can first tell me how to use the code tags






heres the code for my finished progam

[_player1537]

this looks pretty good: two suggestions though, 1) make the enemies move more fluently, ie instead of doing randint() to make him move, try F+1-16(F=16)-->F 2)maybe make the beggining parts where you choose your enemy/weapon with a colon, ie "Enemy:" "Weapon:". Other than that, it looks pretty good. Good job, I expect that you will be making pretty good/cool programs soon.

Edit:

[qazz42]

haha thanks


Thanks a million for giving me the code for shooting, that really stumped me.

Also, now im out of ideas for now


jk jk ill make a maze next once i learn matrices

EDIT: Yeah i realize this, its just that the variables were mixing me up

matrices are kind of wierd, I rarely use them myself. But the thing you need to remember for matrices is: to access a certain spot in a matrix, use [A](Y,X) Matrices use the same system as output, ie [A](1,1) gives you the top left corner of the matrices. one other thing, matrices take up a LOT of memory, I don't think its any more than lists, but IMO a maze game would best be made with a string. That way, you already have the characters ready, and (ussually) each character in a string takes up 1 byte, each character in a matrix takes up 11 bytes iirc.

I know, I know, but here are some minor optimizations

[qazz42]

0_o


:K-25
:B+Ans(2>abs(Ans→B
:A+(K=34)-(K=25→A


^ not familiar with that so not using it



Also, how would i be able to slow the enemy?

No i mean make it so that it moves fluently like player's idea BUT still moves like how it did before.....

wait...what?

if it moves like it was before, it won't be moving fluently at all. Fluently (imo) is only moving one space at a time. to make it move like how I was saying, replace the second randint(1,16)-->F with F+1-16(F=16)-->F
