Hi Jonathan
I'm writing a game using Adventure mode, I couple of things strike me as being really useful if they were available:
1) Make collectable blocks stay collected (when a collectable is collected replace it with BLOCK 0, so that on screen refresh the collectable is no longer there)
2) The ability to access a Block number in code - thereby allowing different types of collectable, so in the collect block script I could write something like:
IF COLLECTEDBLOCK = 5
SCORE 50
ELSE
IF COLLECTEDBLOCK = 200
ADD 1 TO LIVES
ENDIF
...or any workarounds to the above!

This is what I've called the "Pacman mode" in the last MSX release, collectables work like the dots in a Pacman game  About your second question, couldn't custom blocks used instead? (disclaimer: I'm not an AGD expert at all...) |

Those two things would be extremely valuable, I've had exactly the same issue. Did you finally find any workaround? I decided to go with Objects instead of Blocks, but it doesn't seem to be the best solution.

There is a work around for question 1) with Adventuremode
EVENT COLLECTBLOCK
; Calculate pos txtpos
LET I X
LET J Y
DIVIDE I BY 8
DIVIDE J BY 8
ADD 1 TO J
IF DIRECTION RIGHT
ADD 2 TO I
ENDIF
; Print empty block
AT J,I
PUTBLOCK 0
Question 2) is more diffficult because the blocktypes are stored in the map, not the block numbers .....

Maybe this is a way for detecting more blocktypes ...
First define a new blocktype with eg type 9: DEFINEBLOCK 9,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,4
Use this file as USER.ASM or point to this routine in v0.7.10:
; Checks for blocktype called by USER
; USER 9 checks for blocktype 9
user ld b,a
call tded
ld (varblk),a
ret
In the PLAYER event, you have to add this code:
...
USER 9
IF BLOCK 9
;Hit blocktype 9
ENDIF
...
You can define more blocktypes and test for hitting them with USER x
