Scratch

Well, it would either add it to the list as it generates (i have no clue how to do that), or it would generate it and add a 0 or 1 to the list based on what it was touching, and move along the rows scanning.

For the maze generator, you start out with a filled screen (a list completely filled with 1's) and then you "carve out" sections of it, with the rule that you can't intersect an already-existing tunnel.  So, in each frame, you move turn a random direction (forward, left, or right), and carve the next block, making sure there's no "0" value two spaces ahead in the direction you're traveling.

You've got three variables: current x column, current y column, and current direction (you can make it simple by using 0 for right, 1 for up, 2 for left, and 3 for down).  When you "carve out" parts of the list, you increment or decrement the value of the x column or the y column (depending on the direction).  You tell the script that it is not allowed to move forward into either a tunnel that has already been dug, or any other restricted area (such as the edge of the screen). 

The list is just for storing the data.  You imagine that the list is actually a two-dimensional table of values.  You can use some fairly simple math to turn list elements into positions onscreen and the other way around.

It sort of works like this:

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
etc.

That represents a 10 x whatever grid.  The numbers show which column/row values represent which items in the list. 

In my "Level Editor" project, it converts back and forth between screen coordinates and list position.

Bump. Also, over the next week, can someone bump occasionally? It would be appreciated  . Also, we won't be accepting people for a week, until I can look at them, so I FYI want to apply hurry up an do it now

I think.  Because we're all pretty experinced, maybe we should make a 1s1s project?

Possibly.  However, we should make only a few costumes.

Buildings turn around the character.   

I'm back  . We can now start development again  .

bump...

Can you send us a link to your old account? I think if you can show us some more projects, you'll be able to get in 

I will be in Grand Canyon from Aug. 3-7, so do not expect anything from me.  I will have no internet connection.
