i was doing an assignment for my basic level computer course. what i wanted was to draw pac man ghosts in different colors (3 color choices) and 3 pac man ghosts at time = 3 which will slowly increase as the ghosts are killed. i havent went to the killing part yet because i cant draw the ghosts prop…

i have no idea what classes are. this is a basic course that is used to introduce computing to faculty of science year 1 students. the project was to make a game. and i decided to bite of more than i could chew because i want to do a major in comp science

is there a general code i can write so that the ghosts do not overlap? i did something similar for charaStartX and charaStartY so that the character does not go out of screen [under void gamestart()]. but the ghost coordinates are in an array. how do i call these coordinates?

You should be able to call the respective coordinates by calling the array at the position the respective ghost is. If you ghost was enemy[2] then the coordinates should be x[2] and y[2]. But to be honest, you really should look into classes. They would make you code so much more readable, and also …

Fair enough. So far, so good. Classes are a major topic in Computer Science; you will have to learn all about them if you hope to major in Computer Science. https://processing.org/tutorials/objects/

ok. i will do that asap. but that will have to wait for tmr. gotta get to bed quick since i have a mid term at 9.30 in the morning.

how many variables can i have in a class? does the variable type have to go in the order i saw in the examples (can i have like maybe an int instead of a float)?

[image] SeanTYH: How many variables can I have in a class? AFAIK, it’s as many as we declare them. [image] SeanTYH: Does the variable type have to go in the order I saw in the examples… As long as a field doesn’t depend on another 1, we can declare them in any order. [image] SeanT…

just want to ask how to increase number of ghosts? because the above part which caused the ghosts to stack on top of one another (answered by tfguy44) i thought it was to provide 3 different type of ghosts i could draw and following that i wanted another line of code which will create as many ghosts…

We’re serious: You should use classes. One of the main perks of using classes is that it is very easy to suddenly have more of a thing. Like more ghosts. Like different types of ghosts. Let’s actually use classes now. Pretend you are a ghost. I’m serious. You are a ghost. What do you need to kno…
