Hello,
I'm getting started with Monkey and I was following the Path of Monkey Tutorial. I try to copy the first code and while it executes, I just get a white screen on the HTML Page. All other Tutorials provided work except this one.


Strict

Import mojo.app

Import mojo.graphics

 

Function Main:Int()

       New BlueScreen

End

 

Class BlueScreen Extends App

       Method OnRender:Int()

              Cls 0,0,200

              DrawText "You got a bluescreen",200,200

              Return 0

       End Method
End

You probably need to SetUpdateRate(60) in OnCreate

When Im quickly testing something I almost always forget to do this! It would be nice if Mojo did this for you...

Was thinking the same myself when looking at this. Make it more of an override if you want to change it.

Tested and works. In Demo which was version 30 I didn't have to do the OnCreate Method and set update rate. Not a problem, but the documentation for Monkey needs to be updated to indicate that. Cool, glad I got over that hump.

Since this is not a bug per say, but rather a documentatation issue... Hmmm... Maybe we need a kind of Monkey wiki that the users can submit clarifications and examples in order to lessen some of the frustration. The tutorials included with Monkey do a good job at trying to get the users up to speed, and I really appreciate all the time spent to create them.

There is always a learning curve and Monkey is no exception. Thankfully, the Blitz community is a strong one full of helpful individuals. Big thanks to everyone.

Yeah something has changed between versions. No biggie, I figured someone would have the answer which was the case. I can see that there have been some updates in that particular tutorial.
I'll get the hang of it.
Thanks!
