Map with multiple exit points?

(account deleted) 05 May 2010 01:39

I am using the coding found in the "Movement in Maps" under techniques, and I have a map with multiple exit points. Can anyone help me with how to get out of these points?

PS - this is what the map looks like:

--- ------ -----
]              [
               [
]
]

]
---------   ---[

THANK YOU!!

to be clearer, i want to go to different labels from each exit point. some of them other maps, other with menus

What exactly is your game engine, and what do you use for collision detection?

um, sorry if i dont understand your question, but for the collision detection i use the techniques in the area i said before, and i dont understand the engine part?

if this helps, here is the exact code:

ClrHome
3→A:1→B
"--- ------ -----]              [               []               ]                               ]               ---------   ---→Str1
Output(1,1,Str1
Repeat K=45
getKey→K
If Ans
Output(A,B,"_ 
sum(ΔList(Ans={25,34
A+Ans(" "=sub(Str1,16(A-1+Ans)+B,1→A
sum(ΔList(K={24,26
B+Ans(" "=sub(Str1,16A-16+B+Ans,1→B
Output(A,Ans,"θ
End
ClrHome

but i edited the repeat part to look like this

While 1
If A=6 and B=1:Goto L

to hopefully get the exit points, but doing this wont let u enter the space exits, so i want to know if there is a different way to do this

If you use a goto to break out of a loop you will create a memory leak!

if the program is small enough, it wont really matter

its not really the size of the program that matters, it that amount of times that it will be breaking out of the loop that matters.

ok, but can't htis be fixed with a GarbageCollect? And my label thing is good enough for me at the moment, unless there's a way to prevent memory leaks while still keeping the goto's.

It can be fixed that way, but its rather inconvenient for the user to have to run a garbagecollect halfway through the program. If it happens enough, they'll just stop doing it, and the program will crash.

To fix the memory leak, place all your Lbl commands in a block like exactly like this:

While 0
Lbl XX
End

Remember, only place the Lbl commands this way, not the Gotos.

ok, that looks like it'll work, but i keep getting ERR:SYNTAX and it just goes to the End

The While 0 trick Skwerlman told you works when you use a Goto within a loop or If conditional with a closing End command, but it sounds like your program doesn't need to use the trick (hence you are getting a ERR:SYNTAX because the calculator is not expecting an End command). Can you show us what your whole program looks like?

ok, so, sorry it took me a while to repsond, but i had the error syntax because i just put it in a test program. in my real program, i was going to tell you that with the label in the loop, it didnt do anything, for example:

While 0
Lbl A
End
          //Program Code

but then i looked at the link for the while 0 trick, and i think i'll try that and then get back to here on it.
