Simple Collisions Using Images

[TheEvilOne]

Ok... so most of the pros here are (as I have seen on many other posts) going to swamp me with flaming on this... but thats ok

My friend was working on a FFI game for his final project in Turing, and wasnt very good at coordinate programming (as in not very good... I mean he had a hard time getting a sprite to move ). Anyways, he needed a collision system, and didnt want to program coordinates, or an engine to detect what images are where, etc.

I programmed this way as a simple work-around for collision. It's simple, and I dont have any animation programmed into it, as its just a demo.

bg1 is the collision layer, and everything is pretty well documented. I hope it helps some lazy person out

No worries man, we all mess up when we first start postin in compsci

*resurrects topic from the depths*

Looking at the code i'm just wondering a few things.
Is there a reason to use Draw.FillBox(0,0,maxx,maxy,0) over cls? Is there even a point in having that line of code?
Also, what's the reason for var CharImage : array char of int, it doesn't seem to do anything

plz, if you are going to ask questions about Turing post them in *gasp omg* Turing Help, also plz dont revive dead topics, if you post in Turing Help people will probably be more likely to help you there

Relax SuperFreak. As far as I see, cls and drawfillbox are the the same although cls may be faster.
