Player/Gear Collision

To code the collision between the gears and the character (widget) the code has been added to the CheckGears action. this action runs for each gear and thus is the perfect spot to place the collision.
In order to ensure that the player no longer moves the Stop variable (as stated earlier) is set to 0 ensuring that the run action no longer plays. When the collision is made the code also ensures that the hit animation will play giving the effect of an actually impact.

The code is as follows

private action CheckGears ()

This action is called in Gameloop

for each sprite in ◳ Gears

where true

do

if sprite → x + sprite → width < 0 then

This ensures that when a gear(sprite) leaves the screen it will return. This also dictates whether the Gear will be Large or Small

◳ Gears → remove(sprite)

sprite → delete

LorS is whether the gears will be Large or Small. if LorS = 1 the gear will be Large if LorS is 2 the gear will be Small

◳ LorS := math → random(2) + 1

if ◳ LorS = 1 then

▷ SpawnLGear

else

▷ SpawnSGear

end if

else do nothing end if

if ◳ sprite → overlaps with(sprite) then

This determines what occurs when the gears hit the sprite (character)

This stops the score from increasing

◳ scoreadd := 0

◳ sprite → create animation → stop

This links to Background Scroll and stops the background from scrolling

◳ Direction := 0

This plays the animation "hit"

◳ sprite → create animation → play frames("Hit")

This stops the sprite moving

◳ sprite → set speed x(0)

✿ Ow Cute2 → play

This prevents the sprite from continuing to run left or right

◳ Stop := 0

▷ gameOver

else

▷ Run

end if

end for each

end action
