Game development: how to move to the next level

Hello, I'm developing an education app for kids and I can't figure out what code I need to type to make the submarine ask: "Is my path clear?", and if there is an object that is not hidden besides the background and the submarine and you press yes then it types "Incorrect" and how many objects are left.
but if there are no objects left*1 then it adds a point and goes to the next level, and if I press no and there are objects left then it types "correct" but it doesn't add a point
help please,
kid-developer
here's the code of one of the objects:
Code: Select all
global _gUserScore
on mouseUp
PinkJellyfishQuestion
end mouseUp
on PinkJellyfishQuestion
answer "Is my color pink?" with "Yes" or "No"
if it is "Yes"
then
AddPoints
answer "correct" with "yay"
hide me
save this stack
else
answer "try again please"
end if
end PinkJellyfishQuestion
on AddPoints
add 1 to _gUserScore
put _gUserScore into field "userScore"
end AddPoints
*1the object becomes hidden when you answer correctly, and again besides the submarine and background

Hi.
If you are talking about moving an object (a "mouse"?) through a maze, there have been a few gadgets made by people on this forum. Perhaps they will chime in.
In general, if I was building such a thing from scratch, my "mouse" would test the top, bottom, left and right of each fixed barrier or obstacle, and see what the distance is between to front of that mouse. Decisions are then made as to which way to nudge. If you get trapped, reverse course and keep trying. This isn't harder than it sounds, but it is very much more involved than it sounds.

I need to make my submarine ask a question and the question is supposed to be kinda like that:
"is my path clear?" | | "please try again"
| |
| if not -> |
| |
-> "no" "yes" | |
"is my path clear?" | | "correct"
| |
| if is -> |
| |
-> "no" "yes" | |
"is my path clear?" | | "please try again"
| |
| if not -> |
| |
"no" -> "yes" | |
"is my path clear?" | | "now I can move!"
| |
| if is -> |
| |
"no" -> "yes" | |

Is your last post example in a certain format peculiar to another language? I do not understand the syntax.
In LiveCode there is a "Switch" control structure, which sort of seems similar in form:
Code: Select all
switch
case condition1
do someStuff
break
case condition2
do otherStuff
break
...
end switch
Have you ever seen this? Can you translate, as best you can, your syntax, at least structurally, to this one?

First sort out your
edge detection . . .
Then come back and ask questions about how to get your submarine to 'speak'.
