hi

i am still working on my calculator :-)

this time i am trying a graphical calculator.

on the map there will be the number and symbold that a calculator has, how can i make it so when you click on a number the digit of that number appears in a sort of fixed on inout box at the top (like a calculator)

Ok, well think about what you just wrote... You want a number to generate when you click something. Well, that's easy, use Click() and new. Now you need for it to be located somewhere. That can be done by something like this.

var/newloc = locate(3,3,1)
new/obj/num(newloc)


Now, creating numbers that way and displacing them by pixels is more advanced and since you are in the newbie forum I don't suppose you would be able to learn it... but yeah, I guess what I said would do, for now anyways.

You could make + and - buttons and display them on the screen, but adding an image isn't going to add or subtract anything for you, that has to be done by adding the numbers and operations that are clicked on to a seperate thing and added when the = button is pressed

Ummm... I'm not trying to down you or anything, but you are a begginer or else you would have not needed to ask how to do what you want done. But don't worry, every one is a begginer at some piont, and the DM language is quite big and there is so many different principles of programming that even after months of doing it you still may only be considered intermediate... But there is no reason to give up because once you get to where some of us are(and no, I'm not a guru, I'm just getting to the advanced league) it's well worth the time. To me it was anyways.
