Code:

---

sorry, i will try to be cool =P  (i love learning this)

---

I dont really understand at the moment? :(

---

I mean If i put this code

Code:

---

letterPos = {}
letterPosx = 200
letterPosy = 100

while true do
blue=Color.new(0,200,350)           
screen:clear()
pad = Controls.read()
if pad:circle() then letterPosx = letterPosx + 2 end
screen:print(letterPosx, letterPosy, "HELLO", blue)


if pad:select() then
break
end
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()


end

---

the hello will only move right if a press the circle button becuase

Code:

---

if pad:circle() then letterPosx = letterPosx + 2 end

---

is included.
my question is: is there a code to replease the

Code:

---

if pad:circle() then letterPosx = letterPosx + 2 end

---

to make it move right with out pressing any button ?

Natan333 -

Do you mean that you just want the "HELLO" to move by itself? If so, then you just replace "pad:circle()" with "true". So the code would look like this.

Code:

---


letterPos = {}
letterPosx = 200
letterPosy = 100
 
while true do
blue = Color.new(0,200,350)
 
screen:clear()
 
pad = Controls.read()
 
if true then letterPosx = letterPosx + 2 end
screen:print(letterPosx, letterPosy, "HELLO", blue)
 
if pad:select() then
break
end
 
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
 
end

Argh...
You beat me to it :( .
but yea, i think he means that?
unless you mean if you press select it
will keep moving even is select isn't holded?

Thanks Jeffery , thats what i needed to know, If true is to move then false is to stop right ?
like. if its moving, i plan to make it stop after 5 seconds, to do it i put something like

Code:

---

screen.waitVblankStart(50) False

---

?

youd say something like:
-- top of the script

movehello = true


if movehello == true then
letterPosx = letterPosx + 2 end
screen:print(letterPosx, letterPosy, "HELLO", blue)
screen.waitVblankstart(50 )
movehello = false
end
