Re: Checking touching within Puzzle Game

[Alain LCSI <alain@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I've noticed some "issues" with the project. Do a "slow step by step  
reading" of what's happening.

The procedure startup is executed automatically when you open the  
project. That by itself can be very fine... but the Start button ALSO  
starts the procedure startup. So startup is running twice in parallel  
universes.

Secondly, read what the online help has to say about waituntil... It  
executes its instruction (touching "t3 "t2) repeatedly until this  
reports true... and the program sort of "jams" on this instruction  
until it becomes true. It doesn't go any further. The next line is  
NOT executed until this first line is true..

Then, it seems to me that this method (touching) is not the best for  
determining that the puzzle is solved. If I just stack all the  
turtles in the center, they will all be touching but this does not  
represent a valid solution.

Forgive me for not providing a "solution" but I don't want to spoil  
the fun of exploring. I'm just pointing out what seems to "not work"  
in the current solution, so you can get out if this track and find a  
better one.

Suggestion: there is one "neglected" tab in MW: the PROCESS tab. Take  
a look at it and watch the processes that you are launching. That's a  
good place to catch issues such as the "startup and start" that I  
mentioned above.
