Issues with whatdotcolor in platformer

[Tsa]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Create a simple platform game.


What is the problem you are having?
I am trying to use whatdotcolor in order to make sure the shape can only jump when it is in the air.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Read a few tutorials on whatdotcolor as well as trying to change the whatdotcolor locations. I have also used put velocityY so that I am almost certain the issue is around whatdotcolor.


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

code:

[syntax="turing"] var playerX, playerY, velocityX, velocityY : int var move : array char of boolean setscreen ("graphics:1200;600, offscreenonly") % Set variables and constants playerX := 100 playerY := 50 const XSpeed := 4 const YSpeed := 20 const gravity := 2 % Draw player original position drawfillbox (playerX - 10, playerY, playerX + 10, playerY + 30, brightgreen) loop     velocityX := 0     velocityY := 0     % Draw platforms     drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, 5, black)     drawline (0, 150, 150, 150, black)     drawfillbox (playerX - 10, playerY, playerX + 10, playerY + 20, brightgreen)     View.Update     cls     % Movement     Input.KeyDown (move)     if move (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then         velocityX := -XSpeed     end if     if move (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then         velocityX := XSpeed     end if     % Collision detection     if whatdotcolor (playerX, playerY) not= 0 or whatdotcolor (playerX, playerY - 5) not= 0 then         if move (KEY_UP_ARROW) then             velocityY := YSpeed         end if     else         velocityY := -gravity     end if     if playerY <= 5 then         playerY := 6     end if     % Subtract gravity and calculate new player position     velocityY -= gravity     playerX += velocityX     playerY += velocityY     delay (25) end loop [/syntax]

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

you use the color detection after the cls

Thank you for pointing that out, I ended up restarting my program and kept in mind the placement of whatdotcolour and now everything is working!
