<h3>While statement</h3>
|
|
|
|
A while statement has the form
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre><b>while</b> (<expression>) <statement></pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As long as the expression is true, the statement (which can also be a
|
|
block) is executed. Be careful with your while loops. You can easily make
|
|
them loop forever, in which case your game will hang and not react to any
|
|
user input anymore.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Example</b><br>
|
|
|
|
The following program tries to place the current object at a free position
|
|
(this is about the same as the action to move an object to a random
|
|
position).
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
{
|
|
<b>while</b> (!place_free(x,y))
|
|
{
|
|
x = random(room_width);
|
|
y = random(room_height);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
