Block Breaker Block Collisions21st September 2007 There is a lot wrong with that, mole. I'm trying to get my head around the bits that I think should work but in the mean time... You need to put Dim in front of ImageArray(16,16) ReadByte is not what you want. If you add the line Text a*20,b*20,ImageAr*snip* |

Block Breaker Block Collisions14th September 2007 Genius! We need more people like you Jay, that last sentence really nailed the problem :D That is a very valid point though. I can't image a great deal of work going into "Thro' The Wall" on the original Spectrum 48K introduction tape! |

QOTD: Laptop longevity?13th September 2007 At the risk of going too far off topic... We have two reach trucks.

Block Breaker Block Collisions13th September 2007 
That's a very good point. One thing you could try is breaking down the block into segments or zones. If a collision is detected then, before deleting the block check where the collision is. You could do this with images easier if you have one for each zone*snip* |
