Re: Keys on second page

[LCSI <alain@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Here are a few comments.

First big suggestion: leave behind the "readchar" approach. This was  
mandatory in "pre mouse" era, and was extremely popular with  
LogoWriter and older versions of MicroWorlds. May I suggest that you  
use the mouse and "clickable turtles wearing "arrow shapes"" to drive  
the runner through the maze? You would solve several issues that way.  
To name just two: the issue you are having with stage 2, and the fact  
that readchar does not work if you don' t click on the page first.
Besides that, the way the programming is done, the procdure with the  
readchars is linked to the turtle on page 1. When you go on page2, and  
hit the arrow keys, you are still controlling the turtle that's on  
page 1.
Solution (besides using clickable, as suggested above):
Put the procedure "drive" in the turtle's backpack

to drive
if key? [react]
fd 1
wait 1
end

Put your "color programming" in the backpack's Rules tab, in the  
OnColor field.
In the programming that brings you to the second page, be sure to run  
the command "t1, clickoff" to turn this one off and perhaps "t2,  
clickon" to click the other one on.
Take advantage of the new features of MW EX.
