Scratch

What do you mean by hittest?

Do you mean <if><touching[ sprite1 ]
or <if><touching color[ red ]

Those commands? .. or are you talking about something else? I'm kinda new to Scratch still so please excuse my ineptitude concerning the lingo. I don't mean to annoy or offend if this is one of those questions that bother advanced users, apology in advance just in case. 

Do you maybe mean without using variables Like this? ...
... <if><(  <{ Variable 1 }><=> 5)> <change y by( 5<else><change y by( -5

It was your rant about not insulting you that bothered me.    Everyone is really nice here. 

Anyway, when you type blocks, make sure to put [blocks] before them and [/blocks] after or the rest of the post is bold.

I think you mean this. (The [blocks] and [/blocks] tags weren't showing up.)

I'm probing Scratch a bit concerning collisions.
So keep an eye on my projects. It may appear there sooner than you think.
Or maybe never, depending on whether I can figure it out or if it's even possible.

I have an idea in mind how to without variables if that's what you mean.
The without using the touching thing might be a bit more difficult, but I have an idea for that too. I pretty much have an idea for everything. Sometimes the ideas work, sometimes they don't.

Can't tell you 

Can't really help you if you can't at least give us an idea of what you have in mind.    And like Atomicbawm3 said, you can use a sort of (distance to _) thing, but it only really works with objects that are round.

Oh I gave up on what I was trying to do in the first place because there is no <I receive [ ]> block and I don't feel like working around it. I was trying to make a mini pac man game where pac man would stay inside a little game screen.

Oh. So you didn't want pac man to actually hit the wall before he stopped? In that case, just make a sensor sprite that is larger than pac man, set its ghost effect to 100, and put the hit-tests on that!

Yeah, but RHY is well, RHY.

Color sensing.

Bingo! 

Color sensing is the way to go.

Oh. Well I counted that in the "hit-test" category, so I didn't mention it. I kinda thought that's what he meant. 

As I said, the list method will work, but the equation will be big and your list has to be exactly right.  Out of curiosity, how many tiles would fit on your pacman board?

Yeah, some one in prism posted that.

I can't stand color sensing. Anyway, to collide without any annoying color sensing or extra sprites or extra costumes, you just use this script on top of whatever movement script you have (preferably with velocity)

When Green Flag Clicked
Forever
(velocity stuff)

change x by (x velocity)
if touching platforms
change x by 0 - (x velocity)
set x velocity to 0

And then you can do the y stuff

change y by (y velocity)
if touching platforms
set y velocity to 0

And after that if you have gravity then you will be brought back down.

*bump* That's really the best way to do it!
