kendog400

I have here a program that deals cards...
I trying to print on the screen the value of the card and the suit at line 15
but all I get is varible doesent exist......
can anyone see what I did wrong ?

clear(darkGreen)
image = loadImage ("Kenney/boardgames")
suits = ["clubs", "diamonds", "hearts", "spades"]
array cards [52}
getPack ( )
shufflePack ( )

for i = 0 to 5  loop   // this will flip the 5 cards to the screen
sprite = cards [ i ]
size = getSpriteSize (sprite)
setSpriteLocation (sprite, i % 13 * (size.x + 30) +50, int (i / 13 ) * (size.y + 5) + 200)
setSpriteVisibility(sprite, true)
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Tried to put print command here
drawText(30,150, 80 black, valueNo)  // tried to print value
drawText(40,150, 80 black, suitNo)    //  tried to print suit
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
drawSprites ( )
update ( )
sleep(0.7)
repeat

function shufflePack ( )
   cardIndex1 =  random (52)
   cardIndex2 =  random (52)
   card1 = cards [cardIndex1]
   card2 = cards [cardIndex2]
   cards [cardIndex1] = card2
   cards [cardIndex2] = card1
  repeat
return void

function getPack ( )
values = [ [0,"2"], [1,"3"], [2,"4"], [3,"5"], [4,"6"], [5,"7"], [6,"8"], [7,"9"], [8,"10"], [12,"A"], [9,"J"], [11,"K"], [10,"Q"], ]
imageNo = 0
 for suitNo = 0 to 4 loop
   for valueNo = 0 to 13 loop
   cardNo = suitNo * 13 values[valueNo] [0]
   sprite = createSprite ( )
   cardImage = getImage (imageNo)
   setSpriteImage(sprite, cardImage)
   setSpriteVisibilty(sprite, false)
   setSpriteDepth(sprite, cardNo)
   size = getSpriteSize(sprite)
   setSprieOrgin(sprite, -size,x/2, -size.y/2)
   scale = 1.5
   setSpriteScale ( sprite, {scale, scale} )
     sprite.value = values [valueNo] [1]
     sprite.suit = suits [suitNo]
     sprite.imageNo = imageNo
     cards [cardNo] = sprite
     imageNo + = 1
     if imageNo = 39 then
     imageNo + = 1   endif
   repeat
  repeat
return void

function getImage (imageNo)
cardImage = createImage(140, 190, false, image_rgb)
setDrawTarget (cardImage)
drawSheet(image, imageNo + 15, {0, 0, 140, 190} )
 update ( )
return cardImage

Yeah, you're missing comma's after the 80's in these commands:

drawText(30,150, 80 black, valueNo) // tried to print value
drawText(40,150, 80 black, suitNo) // tried to print suit

At least that

Martin

Also, valueNo and suitNo don't exist at the top level, only within a function later down so as far as the program goes, it knows nothing about them.

Dave

It looks to me like you're using valueNo and suitNo in your print statements when you want to be using the custom properties you've assigned to the sprites already:

In your getPack() function, you have:

     sprite.value = values [valueNo] [1]
     sprite.suit = suits [suitNo]
     sprite.imageNo = imageNo

As @Martin pointed out, the valueNo and suitNo variables are local to the functions that create them. But, since you're using them to assign information to the custom properties sprite.value and sprite.suit, then storing them in the cards array, you should use those properties in your print statements:

drawText(30,150, 80, black, sprite.value) // I've added the missing commas Martin pointed out
drawText(40,150, 80, black, sprite.suit)

I thought at first these would have to be cards[i].value and cards[i].suit but since beforehand you write sprite = cards[i], this should be correct.

Working perfectly now.....Thanks again !

Dave

Excellent! Very glad to hear it :)

I've been trying to frend you (Dave) but it says frend not found.

It seems that if you friend waldron your friend screens turns grey,
so now I want to friend fuze team members to stay safe....

pianofire

@kendog400 That should have been fixed

kendog400

Do you know Dave (Fuze Team) friend code ?

pianofire

@kendog400 He doesn't seem to have published it.

Martin

As @pianofire says the issue with Waldron’s shares has been found and fixed. If you’ve tried again today and it’s not working please do let us know.
