My first project with Bennu

[BAFelton]

(sorry for my english ;) )

Hi, i'm quite new to Bennu, read tutorials, got a lot of examples, but I'm not sure how I can do my project.

I want to make a game & watch ( like Mario / Donkey Kong ...) on Caanoo. I have all the GFX, the sounds, all I need is to code it.

I know how to make my character move BUT in G&W, they don't have animations, they skip from one picture to another.

I think I can do like this :

[code language="bennu"]process player()
begin

    file = FPG_id;
    graph = 2;
    x = 30;
    y = 175;
        loop
        if (key(_right)) graph++; x+=40; end
        if (key(_left)) graph--; x-=40; end
        frame(500);
    end[/code]


but i'm sure it won't work when the character will go up or down. I think this is not the right way.

Can someone give me a hint or advice, thanx.

Your code does not check if the last frame of the animation has been reached.
Then, it should return to the default graph.

Try this:

Code Select Expand



process player()
begin

   file = FPG_id;
   graph = 2;
   x = 30;
   y = 175;
     loop
         if (key(_right))
             graph++;
             x+=40;
        end

        if (key(_left))
            graph--;
            x-=40;
        end

        if (graph>10) // assing graph 10 is the last frame of the animation
           graph=2;
        end
        frame(500);
   end



Also, a tip, use indentation in your code instead of putting stuff on one line, indented code
is easier to read and reflects the logic flow.
