Using twice the same starting block is not a good idea (in your case the two "when flag cliced") because u dont know which one will be executed first.
In you case, it is as well the reason why it doesn't work. The second flag's forever loop is inside a if block , so it is executed only once, frame one. If you are not touching the maze when you click the flag, this script stops imedialty without doing anything. You should put the "if touching maze" inside the forever loop of the main green flag program, after the existing blocks, and get ride of the second green flag script.
If you are touching the maze, you should not stop all the other script, but just cancel the last movement you did, aka move -3.

ok i know where your heads at cuz this did feel like pacman was hitting the maze wall now, but he is still animated even if the switch to closed costume is in the forever loop. in the real game, pac man stops moving his mouth when in contact with a wall and doesnt clip in and out of it. what do you thinks up now?

try to move the "wait 0.03 seconds" below the "if touching ..."

as for the animation, learn about variables and create a true/false variable. when you hit a wall, make a variable called "wall is hit" true, and when the player press some arrow key, make it false. then the "next costume" is wrapped inside a "if wall is hit"

alright your idea somewhat worked. pacman stopped on the wall and is not going out and in anymore plus is staying on the specific costume.
however hes still in the wall and whenever i try to make him move a little bit back so he doesnt go in the wall, it freaks out again (this meaning anything below -3 will make him animated and tweak out again)

this could be fixed in the variable thing u told me im guessing but idk i just wanted to make sure.

Also adding to this:

Scratch wall collision is always a bugger, but I fixed this by using a square hitbox, then switching to the Pacman sprite, which then had to be animated externally using a variable to display frames (since I can't use "next costume").

Also, "when key pressed" still turns Pacman regardless of whether he's alive, or the green flag isn't set, so use if starements.

oof i gots to tell u my pc is kinda under a weird progam my dad downloaded to keep me safe n stuff and that somehow manages to not show forum images on NG so if you could maybe just tell me what you changed in text and ill just convert all that into my game :D

Yes, in half an hour, using only your code as reference.

Remember to display the "cosmetic" costumes AFTER all the collision checks are made.

oh alright so is this just an example for me to use on my own pacman project? just kinda confused. as if im not that enough lol

Read the comments and compare to your own project.

already im seeing the improvements. its looks a lot cleaner. i really have to thank you its great getting help. u made this?

Yes, in half an hour, using only your code as reference.

Remember to display the "cosmetic" costumes AFTER all the collision checks are made.

ok im sorry that im back yet again. i somewhat put the code from yours into mine and the movment is good pretty much like he doesnt twitch when touching a wall, but im having trouble with costumes and sometimes getting stuck. just tell me whats wrong and ill fix it. i wanna do this by myself :]

(and i just figured out i cant use the dump. aw man.)

My version is dependent on the costume name being the way it is.
The code says "switch costume to join(P) (variable)", so your costumes need to be named P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4, for it to work.

Furthermore, the costume variable also animates the death sprite, so animate Pacman dying with 11 extra frames going up to 15. My project should contain the exact graphics for reference.

omg thx for the dump access! so btw i changed the costumes to P_ and it now does show the pacman frames which is sweet. however the purple hit box still shows up and pac is still openign and closing his mouth when against the wall so ill send you the project zip and thatll make it a lot easier.

nvm im confues as hell. i feel too needy with this stuff but i dont want to be. its hard to feel like ur so unintelligent or stupid. idk if i can still do the pacman project or start with something more easier.

it is crucial that you develop the following skills:


exactness. never guess. these three skills must be developed mostly unassisted. you need to be completely independent from explanations from AI or from experts. you need to conceive explanations yourself. a teacher is only helpful if Socratic method is applied (but in lack of thereof one you can apply it yourself on yourself).

set apart substantial time to analyze your code and develop a complete picture of the entire program

if you applied the advice of people blindly, you did it wrong. so keep this in mind: every time you receive help, do the following:


when you are learning, most time needs to be spent studying and analyzing and less coding or asking for help. but keep asking for help, technology is full of perils and traps and dead ends and red herrings.

and when you face difficulties, do ask for help, but before doing so, try to figure out the root cause of the problem, hypothesize fixes, make experiments etc.

p.s.: regarding the thing that blocks pictures: that's okay, maybe that's more healthy in the current era, and you are forced to read more anyway, which is again healthy. always trust your parents. always trust their decisions and respect them. always remember that they are your only real reliable friends in the very long run
