k need desperate help! (AND QUICK....please)
trying to get the whatdotcolor command to work with a game for my ISP.
its a remake of the original atari centipede arade game.
ive got the player to move and shoot and the centipede to move and go down the screen. however i'm trying to get it that when u shoot it something happens. at this moment i'm just trying to get to exit the loop and put anything so i know its working. however its not! i'm tying to do it so that when whatdotolor (gunsx,gunsy) = 120 then
it will do w/e however it is not working!! gunsx and gunsy are the location of the moving lazer.

Don't use processes. They are evil.

As for whatdotcolour detection: don't check at (gunsx, gunsy). You want to check at (gunsx, gunsy + 1). That is, check just above the gun.
If that doesn't do it, perhaps it's got something to do with the fact that you're using processes.

j**h, this is even more screwed up compared to the one i helped u at, but why cant u just say that once the x, y of the bullet equals one body part of the centipede, then watever?
