Say 2 Sprites come into coincidence. How do you make an animation routine for when they collide? CALL SOUND first?

[Opry99er]

Well, many ways... but I would use a COINC detection, (one is detected)... then stop the motions of the SPRITEs and change the PATTERN of them... or you can make new SPRITEs after DELSPRITEing the existing ones...

***COLLISION HAPPENS
-CALL MOTION(#X,0,0)
-CALL PATTERN(#X,BLOWING-UP-PATTERN)
-CALL DELSPRITE

Any number of ways... just stop motion and create new designs.

Ohhh - I should share my explosion from my Dr Who based game that I'll likely never finish. It's AWESOME! Sprite motion for Daleks is pretty damn effective and my Slitheens look awesome.

here's the code... play the game to see the explosion.

It seems like when you do CALL COINC from a subprogram, you must pass the variable for it to register with an object in a subprogram colliding with an object in the main program.

Okay, can't really see any difference between WORKS and ALSO WORKS.

THISWORKS does much the same, only calls a subroutine for setting up sprite #2.

DOESNOTWORK has a loop (90-110) which does not call COINC. You continuously have to call COINC to try and detect any coincidence.

The last part seems to be a copy of DOESNOTWORK with another subroutine name. Oh, I guess it's not the copyright symbol there but you're trying to pass C as a parameter. At line 80 you're passing the value of C, which is 0 at this time. The subroutine receives C, but does not use it, and line 140 overwrites the value of C. Some of the problem may be that the loop (90-110) never calls the routine, but then again, it would be a mistake (I guess) to set up sprite #2 again and again.

Do not use single line code. Use multiple line code it runs faster then line searchs. RXB Author.

You could also do:
200 IF Y=4 THEN CALL COLOR(10,P2,6) ELSE IF X=4 THEN CALL COLOR(13,P2,6) ELSE IF Y=-4 THEN CALL COLOR(11,P2,6) ELSE IF X=-4 THEN CALL COLOR(12,P2,6)

Also you could:

[orion1052003]

I think WORKS and ALSO WORKS somehow got pasted twice and I didn't realize it.

In THISWORKS I was trying to find out if a Sprite set up in the Main Program could cause coincidence with another sprite if it was called from a subprogram. I had a lot of trouble understanding Subprograms and getting them to work.

In my text, it was not the copyright symbol, but the parameter ©. C=Coincidence. It think it was a text-edit to browser translation error.

In DOESNOTWORK, I wanted to see if CALL COINC would work when called from within a Subprogram. I tried it passing C for coincidence and without passing C and nothing happened. This seemed to support my thought that CALL COINC might not work within a subprogram until you told me that I just need to loop back to Call Coinc. This kind of strange or unusual nonunderstanding of simple or BASIC concepts, is what I deal with all the time. Since I'm more of a beginner self-taught type, I probably see this stuff in a different and even scattered way, and sometimes I have a hard time understanding this stuff. But I find I pick up more the more time I spend on it.

So I should have kept looping to CALL OBJECT?

[sometimes99er]

Even when someone understands every command in XB, there are different ways to do things, and one could discuss what is most efficient, smallest, most readable, beginner friendly or whatever - all pull in different directions and people have different feelings about them - even in a small community as ours here. What I'm saying is, there are really no "truth" about programming XB. I would say this is true about other big brothers like Java, C# and ActionScript too, but again it all depends (what are you looking at, does someone say that you have to do this and that because of company rules, common decency, bla bla etc.).

Starting out with XB, I would personally recommend, that you isolate your problems and try to have smaller programs focused on what you want something to do. That would in this case mean no use of subroutines if you're trying to deal with coincidence - let not one thing confuse another. Also remove lines commented out with ! - it even confuses me to see them, because I must admit to sometimes reading a line as if part of the example/code. Keep it simple and cut down to the problem, that makes it far easier to help.

Later, when you have all these small parts in working conditions, you start pulling them together to form bigger programs - and bigger problems ...

[RXB]

Ok I figured out what you were trying to do. Read page 180 XB manual SUB you forgot the [parameter list]
I looked over you program very closely and assumed what you were wanting by the way you put things where they were.
Then I fixed it to do that. Now the CALL LOCATE© works, but remember Subprograms calls do not share same memory for variables.
So it just passes value not the named value. See page 181 of XB manual for what I am saying.

The code posted executes without errors. Is the example complete or are there lines missing ?

SUB

Line 650 passes C to the sub, but C only has the initial value of 0.

In the sub, line 950 assigns C a value and act upon it.

Line 970 returns C to the caller.

The caller, line 650, does not use the recieved C for anything, and the next line, 662, overwrites the C value.

All in all, you're passing C, but neither the caller nor the receiver make use of it.

[orion1052003]

Oh, ok. I gotta check this out. Last time I ran it, there were no errors, the meteor just flies by and passes over the man without a coincidence like you said in the above.

Actually I only talked about passing the parameter in your example. Without passing the variable, coincidence checking is still possible. Wherever your loop is, I think that's where we gotta have a COINC, but if it's like you go to a routine and stay there while a special enemy is on screen, then I guess a COINC (making it two) there would be in place. I then start to get the idea of passing the C. If this variable is called CO instead throughout, we'll avoid the forum conversion to the copyright sign, which of course do not translate to a SUB parameter when I copy and paste into Classic99.

Edited by sometimes99er, Fri Oct 14, 2011 10:44 PM.

[orion1052003]

After much confusion, I got the coincidences to register a sound both in the main and in the sub with meteor. Put the coinc check in the jump loop. 2 different coinc sounds to help make it easier to see which coincidence check is working, called from main or called from sub. plus you see it hit the meteor when jumping and make a sound, when testing.

After much confusion, I got the coincidences to register a sound both in the main and in the sub with meteor. Put the coinc check in the jump loop. 2 different coinc sounds to help make it easier to see which coincidence check is working, called from main or called from sub. plus you see it hit the meteor when jumping and make a sound, when testing.

Darn, somehow it posted twice. I meant to say I thought for sure I typed a 1 and a 0 instead of typing two 1s the other day on the 2 IF statements that would not have worked anyway. I think your post helped me to understand some stuff.

ORION1052003 when you post code use the little icons above the one that looks like <> is the code link.

* SYNTAX ERROR IN 950

If I correct the double double colon, there are several problems with movement and jumping, and eventually it lead to

* BAD VALUE IN 880
IN JUMP
CALLED FROM 663

880 CALL LOCATE(#1,DR,DC) :: IF S<0 THEN A=A+1 :: GOTO 850

PRINT DR,DC
126 -102.2920367

Obviously DC is out of range (1-256).

The movement seems a little better than before. The problem I notice is when you run to the left, and are near the right edge or another spot more in the left of center screen,... when you press the button, the man pops into a much further spot to the left suddenly before jumping. The jump still only goes to the right, not sure how to make it jump left when facing left, and keep jumping right like it currently does when facing right. Now, that was a run-on sentence.

The collision detection between the Meteor and the Man seems to be such that it works when the man is standing or jumping upwards. When coming down from a jump, he passes right over the meteor without a beep or a flash.

Notes.

642 - M$ is empty/not defined.
643 - Sprite has no pattern and is therefore invisible.
If you test the code you post, I guess you'll catch something like this.
I setup my own M$.

Loop start
SUB METEOR
925 - Must be there for a reason.
If player and meteor collide then remove player.
If meteor is going off screen then remove meteor.
ENDSUB METEOR
661 is then trying to do something which already happens in the SUB METEOR.
664+665 always loops to 650
780-803 is never run.

SUB JUMP
Face is passed but not used.
Looks like the jump is putting the loop out of commission. Nothing wrong with that. One could design things, so COINC is only once in the loop. Pseudo code might help (see my comments in the other thread).
875 - Must be there for a reason, M is local to the SUB, and not used anywhere.
890-900 is doing some looping without COINC.
