Re: detecting gaps inbetween - creating game

This sounds like a side-scroller game, where the character does not move but the background does. I think the easiest way is to use the "within" function to determine whether the character overlaps either of the images. You'll need to decide whether you want to count only the center of the characte...

Re: detecting gaps inbetween - creating game

yes, that is the code i tried and it didn't work out as expected. i could replace the "stopGame" with anything later on.. my main focus is getting the "character" to disappear once it detects the gaps somehow...I see no where round this, it seems impossible :( the character is self is not moving at ...

Re: detecting gaps inbetween - creating game

ahh okay.. i think there needs to be something in between.. because that line of code if i take out the hide character and replace it with stopGame(already coded for) then the entire thing just stops..
