Testing for finish line

[mwforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Bob Irving)]

Hi again,

Another "should be easy one" -- using microworlds pro, and the student is
having a turtle go along a straight course to a finish line. We want to test
for when the turtle has reached or passed the finish line.

Currently we have something like

If t1's xcor > 304 [gameover]

We're also trying

If t1's "pos = [304 -99] 

[gameover]

Since we're advancing the turtle an exact number throughout the game, we
should be able to pinpoint its exact position, but that doesn't seem to work
either.

TIA,

 

Doesn't seem to be working, however.
