I formatted the code for you, let me see what the problem is.

@Prynok It’s not a problem, they want to know how to send mail. (And the paramaters were formatted fine)

@Gamerage13 There’s not an official way, but sort of cheats using openURL(). @Zoyt made an example of it (including opening the Mail app) here.

You could also probably run an http.request to some Google URL to send mail too, but I’m not sure how that works.

Ok thanks

@Gamerage13 Also, sorry, forgot, but welcome to the Codea Forums!

6

Thanks! @SkyTheCoder

I also want to be able to move the Christmas tree and the star

I haved try but it did not work it only change the size of the sprite
What do i need to do?

@Gamerage13 - have you done any of the tutorials on the wiki link above? You shouldn’t be trying to write apps until you have done this, as we are not here to teach you basic stuff.

9

@Gamerage13 - You can also see how to send mail through PHP without popping up the mail form here.
But for that, you need a server.

10

@Prynok, hows is that formatting any better than his was? To me, his looks much closer to being properly formatted.

Also @Gamerage13, as Zoyt said the only way to send an email directly is to have a server.

11

@JakAttak I was just putting all his code in the “~~~” since It wasn’t. It looks like he edited, though.

12

I think I’ll take and look at the wiki website
And see if i can find Any tutorials.
And thanks for the help :)>-

how to draw grass ground?

14 
function setup()

end

function draw()
background(0,0,0,255)
sprite("WhateverTheSpriteNameIs",x,y)
end
15

Thanks!! @prynok

16

Thanks @prynok But one problem it says bad argument got nil

17

@Gamerage13 You hae to set the string to the sprite name, and the x and y to the coordinates.

18 
function setup()
    to = "someone@email.com"
    cc = "copy@email.com"
    subject = "This is the subject"
    
    str1="this is the first line"
    str2="\
this is the second line"
    str3="\
this is the third line"

    message=str1..str2..str3
    
    create(to, cc, subject, message)
end

function create(to, cc, subject, body)
    url = "mailto:"..to.."?cc="..cc.."&subject="..code1(subject).."&body="..code1(body)
    openURL(url)
end

function code1(str)
    crlf = "%a%d-_.~"
    return string.gsub(str, "[^"..crlf.."]", code2)
end

function code2(c)
    return string.format ("%%%02X", string.byte(c))
end
