whatdotcolor for collision detection

[guttface]

i'm tryin to make a maze game, and i was wondering if i could use whatdotcolor to detect if i ran into a barier

you could, but if you do, it would be too late by that point

and this is not a tutorial, it's a question... and should be posted in [Turing Help]

This might help you, its not a maze, but the ball does stop on man made walls.
edit: I just realized this is not on turing help, sorry , but I suspect if someone wants it move that badly, a mod can do it easily.
It's just whenever I see a question, I automatically assume its the turing help section.

code:

%movement setscreen ("offscreenonly") var x, y : int x := 100 y := 100 var addx, addy : int := 0 var chars : array char of boolean loop     drawfillbox (0, 0, maxx, maxy, black)     drawfillbox (10, 10, maxx - 10, maxy - 10, 0)     Input.KeyDown (chars)     if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then         if whatdotcolor (x, y + 11 + addy) = 0                 then             y := y + 5         end if     end if     if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then         if whatdotcolor (x + 11 + addx, y) = 0 then             x := x + 5         end if     end if     if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then         if whatdotcolor (x - 11 - addx, y) = 0 then             x := x - 5         end if     end if     if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then         if whatdotcolor (x, y - 11 - addy) = 0 then             y := y - 5         end if     end if     drawfilloval (x, y, addx + 10, addy + 10, red)     View.Update     delay (10)     cls     if chars (KEY_ENTER) then         addx := addx + 5         addy := addy + 5     end if     if chars (KEY_BACKSPACE) then         addx := addx - 5         addy := addy - 5     end if end loop
