Turing - Blocking my dot using if whatdotcolor URGENT

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?

Hey guys i have an assignment due sunday night, and i need to block off my dot from going over the boundries.  So i have 2 dots one blue and green.  And i did if whatdotcolor to each of them with no luck.  The boundries work for some sides but not all. 

What is the problem you are having?

Cannot block off the boundries 

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem

I tried looking at other posts but got no help.  

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

var xx1,yy1 :int := 0

RE:Turing - Blocking my dot using if whatdotcolor URGENT

-----------------------------------

You need to put the boundary detection where you update the x/y coordinates.

First, you need to check if the dot is moving left. Then you check if it is within the left boundary. if both are true, you then update the x coordinate.
If either are false, check if moving right and dot is within the right boundary. If those are true, update the x coord. Repeat for the y coordinates.

If you have to use whatdotcolor (i wouldn't reccommend it), then to check the left boundary for example, you need a for loop (for y: lowerBound .. upperBound) and check whatdotcolor (leftBound, y) if you get a hit, exit the loop. if you make it to the end of the loop, then you know the boundary is clear.
