Jump rope game small basic

Question

Hi, I'm making a jump rope kind of game in small basic and I was wondering if anyone can help with code. So, I'm trying to make the ball bounce up and down each time you click the mouse, but I can't figure it out. If anyone can help that'd be great

Answer 1

What kind of movement do you want the ball to make?

• from no movement : mouseclick ball moves up. second click move down to "earth"
• or with mouseclick reverse movement,
• or an other reaction on click.

Computer programmimg is to be precise. You have to describe exactly in words what you want, and then try to translate that into programming language.

Answer 2

As a start:

GwH=GraphicsWindow.Height
GwW=GraphicsWindow.Width

GraphicsWindow.BackgroundColor="lightyellow"
GraphicsWindow.BrushColor="green"
GraphicsWindow.FillRectangle(0,GwH-30,GwW,30)
ball=Shapes.AddEllipse(20,20)
Shapes.Move(ball,100,GwH-50)
GraphicsWindow.MouseDown=MD  '' subroutine executed when mouseclicked

While "true"  ''endless loop
  Program.Delay(950)
  If click=1 Then
    For xxx=50 To 300 step 3
      shapes.Move(ball,100,GwH-xxx)
      Program.Delay(.5)
    EndFor
    For xxx=300 To 50 Step -3
      Shapes.Move(ball,100,GwH-xxx)
      Program.Delay(.5)
    EndFor
    click=0

  EndIf
EndWhile

Sub MD
  click=1
EndSub
