PGD had a collectible block (not to mention platform on/off and conveyors), after being intrigued by a comment on facebook about creating a version of pac-man I realised that how would you do the dots?
fodder is out because it's essentially a solid wall, unless the ghosts could ignore them somehow
sprites are out as there can only be 12
objects is a possibility but each dit would have to be an object and at 32 bytes per it could take a lot of memory (but could be doable)

you could go the other way around: if your dots are custom blocks ( adot may be made of four custom blocks arrange in a 2x2 sprite-like fashion), you could putblock and empty set of block (2x2) over them so the dots would disappear...

I'd thought of that but the block seemed to hamper the sprite movement however I shall try again  edit: this may just work |

crud can't get it to work at the moment can't relate the players x and y to an appropriate line and column

crud can't get it to work at the moment can't relate the players x and y to an appropriate line and column to do that i write: divide y by 8; divide x by 8; let line x; let column y; putblock..." multiply x by 8; multiply y by 8 (this last part is necessary to re-set y and x to their original values, otherwise your sprite will fly away) This will put a block using the top left corner of your sprite as the x y play a bit with these values (you can add 1 to x or y or both after dividing by 8; this will put your block a line or a column one line below or a column to the right of the original position; just remember to subtract that number from x, y or both before multiplying back by 8) |
