* Well@ we've come to the last section. Sob@ Sob....
*
* Remember me telling you that you could use the WAIT commands for a more
* advanced purpose ?.
*
* After using one of the commands a counter is set with the results of the
* command this can be examined and acted upon using the ' If ' command.
*
* Wait Key - This command as you know waits for a key to be pressed@
* The key that was pressed is held in the counter Key.
* If you wanted to find out if it was a certain key@ & if it was goto a
* certain position you would do something like:-
*
* Wait Key
* If Key=q Then Goto Quit
*
* The Above example tests to see if it was a q that you pressed@ if it was
* the program jumps to Quit
*
*
* More.....
* Wait Zone - The counter Zone will hold the number of the zone that you
* clicked upon.
*
* eg :- If Zone=1 Then Goto SOMEWHERE
*
* You can also get the computer to wait for a certain Zone by using the
* command...
*
* Wait Zone *** - The ' * ' being a number between 1 & 5.
*
* I think there's just time for one more command....
*
* SCROLLING [ Load DEMOS/SCROLL for a working Example ]
* ---------
* Yes@ it is possible to actually scroll a zone in any direction@ depending
* of course that you've set up a zone before-hand ( Remember - Open Zone ** )
* Once the zone has been defined its just a simple task of using the scroll
* command - which is - ' Scroll (ZONE) (LEFT@RIGHT@UP or DOWN).
* eg:- ' Scroll 2 Up '@ This will move Zone 2 Up.
*
* Easy@ it's just all to easy !!!!
* You could put the scroll command within a loop so that it only scrolls
* a certain number of times.
* Right !@ That's it@ That's all I'm going to say about the commands.
* You've hopefully by now become quite a programmer@ Don't worry if you
* didn't understand everything first time. Go through it again - OR better
* still play around...( Don't forget HELP ).
Things you could do with Point & Click
--------------------------------------
Here are some ideas & suggestions what you could use P.&.C for :-
An Educational Program - Such as an animated story-book@ Clicking on a
certain letter displays a picture of it...
A Presentation Program - You could put all the business pictures you have
into the computer displaying certain pictures
if you click on a certain part of the screen.
Most Packages allow you to save a screen from a
Business Package....
Cont...
A Adventure Game - You could load in a screen with a picture on it
and print a certain message if you clicked on
a certain item on the picture....
A Slide-Show - Why not get it to display all your favourite
pictures.....
And So on.....
But one of the most important things that P.&.C should do is for you to
have fun. Time for me to be signing off now@ HAPPY PROGRAMMING !!!.
