getting position of other sprites
hello,
could sensing provide coordinates and direction of other sprites on the scene?
then it would be easier to construct some games...
for example, I remember students enjoyed educational activity like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocode
where they could build some primitive AI for gameplay

The way around it is to have the sprite use a variable that is seen by everyone to dump it's current location too
<forever>
<set{ Sprite1X }to( <x position>)
<set{ Sprite1Y }to( <y position>)
<wait( 1 )secsc>
<end>

There's a block like that... It's a round sensors block
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

That's what I would usually do. Before 1.2 this block didn't exist and it was really hard to code - especially for me, because I had no idea 1.2 was out until a few months after I joined. My first few projects were all made in 1.1.

Yeah... But we're on version 1.3 now, and 1.4 coming soon.
