You want it to stop on the left side or when ever the X is 0. So in a simple example: if dotX > 0 and Key(KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then dotX -= 1 end if Most collision is a variation/more complicated version of that method. That's how I started out, I learned about whatdotcolor collision later on. I tried it, and I honestly didn't have fun with it. ----------------------------------- Spider-Man Sun Jan 27, 2008 12:46 pm Re: pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- well ya you could do that but then you would have to do that so many times its much easier to just check the colors ----------------------------------- Mackie Sun Jan 27, 2008 1:07 pm Re: pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- I completely agree that it's easier to check for colors. Though there is just more potential in conventional collision check. If you were to do it in a class, and have a collision check record, it wouldn't be that difficult. Or even that much more code. Just keep your mind open. Just imagine a color collision check in a game like Half-Life 2. >.> ----------------------------------- Spider-Man Mon Jan 28, 2008 6:50 am Re: pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- the thing is i kinda dont know what any of that stuff you mentioned actually is im kind of a noob and so the most complex thing i know is flexible arrays class's are out of the question if you want to post an example or something that would be cool ----------------------------------- Clayton Mon Jan 28, 2008 8:10 am RE:pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- Why are classes out of the question? Are you afraid to read the tutorials and learn? ----------------------------------- Spider-Man Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:16 pm Re: pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- i could have looked at a tutorial but i don't see how they could help in this situation ----------------------------------- ericfourfour Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:34 pm RE:pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- OO makes it easier to program, increases readability and modularity. It decreases the amount of lines and, overall, the amount of time to program. ----------------------------------- fishtastic Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:56 pm Re: RE:pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- if you want to speed up the game increase the variable called pacSpeed and if your not checking colors how else would you make collision detection? what if you have more than one wall colour? It decreases the amount of lines and, overall, the amount of time to program. I dont think using classes will make program shorter and will take lesser time to program. To me, OO increases the flexibility of the program so you can modify and re use it easily. ----------------------------------- ericfourfour Mon Jan 28, 2008 11:20 pm RE:pacing-man (also known more commonly as pacman) ----------------------------------- It really depends on a situation fishtastic. When dealing with a game (maybe not as small as pacman), it is faster to move to object orientiation. However, in Turing's case, that might not even be true. There just isn't that much support for OO. It has the basics, but that's it.
