I can't seem to get detection to work on my program

What is it you are trying to achieve?
<When my character hits a black box, show an endgame splash screen (For now I am using cls to clear the screen just as a test)>


What is the problem you are having?
<Black bar just goes past box>


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
<Moving the whatdotcolor, changing the color, using different results for the if statement>

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

First off, I see you're using processes. I suggest you read the documentation about Input.KeyDown and maybe hasch, they might make your life easier.

Onto the problem at hand.

Turing:

drawfillbox (0, y, 640, y1, black) drawfillbox (x, y, x1, y1, white) drawfillbox (boxx, boxy, boxx2, boxy2, blue) if whatdotcolor (boxx2, boxy2) = black then

Can/is the pixel (boxx2, boxy2) ever black? If not then what is its colour? Try replacing your whatdotcolour check with

Turing:

locate (1,1) put whatdotcolour (boxx2, boxy2)

the result should tell you what the problem is.

Let's also look at this code (I left out the unimportant parts):

Turing:

loop getch (move) if move = chr (203) then elsif whatdotcolor (boxx2, boxy2) = black then elsif move = chr (205) then elsif whatdotcolor (boxx2, boxy2) = black then end if

Since getch halts the process, the if statement will only execute immediately after a key press. This isn't exactly what you want. Also, if the first condition "move = chr (203)" is true, are the other conditions checked?

But the real problem is in the first piece of code I posted.
