Hi, how's it going?

I've been trying to teach myself RGSS3 by using the Ace help function as well as searching google for helpful tutorials.I found a small snippet I've been playing with;

CODE

class Window_Test < Window_Base

  def initialize
    super (0, 320, 640, 160)
    self.contents = bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
  end

  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
  end
  end

As I understand it, [super] is meant to get the method from it's parent I.E; Window_Base.

I keep getting this error;
"Script 'Window_Test' line 4: SyntaxError occurred.

unexpected',', expecting ')'
super (0, 320, 640, 160)"

I'm having difficulty understanding that line, isn't it along the lines of (x, y, width, height)?

CODE

From what I can see, there's a spelling mistake, since you should write Bitmap with the capital B, but for the rest I can't see any errors...
I'll give it a look...
Have you pasted it in a blank? In that case, that should not give such error... Syntax is perfect, as well as your idea about the super.

EDIT: Okay, I've tested it. Just remove the blank between super and the "(", and correct that Bitmap issue and it will work

CODE

class Window_Test < Window_Base

  def initialize
    super(0, 320, 640, 160)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
  end

  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
  end
end

It's like that "bitmap" created the whole problem...

Ah yes, that fixed it, thanks a lot. Now I can move onto playing around with it so I can get the hang of it. Cheers!

another good place to learn ruby would be www.codeacademy.com, while this doesnt teach rgss3, it does teach you all you need to know about ruby programming, and it does help significantly when reading scripts to help yourself figure out how they work
