lol everyone is coming here for help with turing suddently. I don't know turing myself because it's anciant and I was not alive when it was the main language but syb would probably be able to help you.

you could probably make command line RPG game or something, I'm sure it would be easy to do in turing as it is in C++.

And welcome to the forum.

no problem... by the way do you go to T.H.V.S? were doing the same thing.
What one do you want to do? The game or program? each can be simple or hard and get you a bad mark. The easyest i would say would be making a test. true and false multiple choice. You can make a puzzle game with more then one kind of word or number puzzle. there are two. Tell me more on what you know and what you wouild like to do. then we can go on from there if you need more help.

What year is your course? It's it the first year you take programming or the second year? If it's the first, go simple. Do something like multiple choice tests or a mad lib program or something. Making a game is difficult if you don't know procedures, arrays and keyboarding values (To move things with user input). Other than that, if you have enough experience, hangman is cool. If you know how to get input/ouput from files (Like txt's) and use them in turing, you'll be zooming with hangman. I did frogger in my grade 11 class at THVS. Pretty sweet I'd say, but turing is so cheap it couldn't even compile my game succesfully. There's a good example of a compilor that gives you a worthless product

The car thing sounds cool. I've heard of people doing that. If you really wanna go wild, get the 2 player stuff going on. If you can get one player with the keyboard and the other with the mouse, those games rock.

Or ad network compatibility to it.

Is that even possible with turing?

I think turing would delete itself if you even MENTIONED network capabilities

Heck, it screws up whenever you mention the word SAVE. Mention Network and you may never be able to install it again. No, turing cannot be networked and frankly, I wouldn't trust Internet play on a turing game (Or any other type of network play).

Network programming is very tricky though, well at least with C++. I tried it but never did anything too interesting with it. I had done a basic chat program and that's as complex as I went.

Ya, it would be fun though. I'd go for a network ASCII game. That would be fun. I can see how it would be complex though. Probably thousands of lines of code to create it

Ruby's networking libraries are a delight to work with.

For C++? Fill me in, something I might be interested in.
