Pacman...

[florayu]

So , currently I am making a pacman game for my final project in Turing . I have set up the map , and all the boundaries when the user moves the pacman. However, with the setup of the map, i've placed the white dots as well, so as the pacman goes over the "dots", i draw over it with a black dot. But in that case, i also have my score increasing each time it moves in a certain direction while it draws the black dots . How can i do it so that it only increases the score when it colours over a white dot?

How my code looks like:

Turing:

var tiles : array 0 .. 44, 0 .. 43 of int var score : int := 0 var map : string := "map.txt" var mapFile : int open : mapFile, map, get for decreasing y : 43 .. 0     for x : 0 .. 44         get : mapFile, tiles (x, y)     end for end for close (mapFile) for x : 0 .. 44     for y : 0 .. 43         if tiles (x, y) = 1 then             Draw.FillBox (x * 10, y * 10, x * 10 + 10, y * 10 + 10, red)     % the +10 is there because each tile is 10 by 10         elsif tiles (x, y) = 0  then             Draw.FillBox (x * 10, y * 10, x * 10 + 10, y * 10 + 10, black)         elsif tiles (x, y) = 3  then             Draw.FillBox (x * 10, y * 10, x * 10 + 10, y * 10 + 10, black)             Draw.FillOval (x * 10, y * 10,3,3, white)         end if     end for end for var pacman : int := Sprite.New (Pic.Scale (Pic.FileNew ("pacman_eat.bmp"), 20, 20)) var pacmanMunch : int := Sprite.New (Pic.Scale (Pic.FileNew ("pacman_munch.bmp"), 20, 20)) var key : array char of boolean var px, py : int := 2 put "SCORE:", score loop     Input.KeyDown (key)     Sprite.SetPosition (pacman, px * 10, py * 10, true)     if key (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) and tiles (px - 1, py) = 3 then         Draw.FillOval (px * 10, py * 10, 4, 4, black)         px -= 1         score += 50     end if % ETC ETC... (for the rest of the control keys)     Sprite.Show (pacman)     delay (130)     Sprite.Hide (pacman)  locate (1,1) put "SCORE:", score end loop

% note that my map.txt looks something like :
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 3 3 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

first use your code tags so the code is easily readable in the post. UPDATE: THX:

Now, in the OP you stated your answer, so try to convert that into code and put that into your game.

if your score is adding more then you want it to, add more restrictions to it so that it ONLY adds when "CERTAINTY" happens.

what is tile 3 = food? You could add a boolean value and use that to tell you if you've eaten the food or not, and change that value depending on white/black dots. should be easy to add into it.
