Hi there, I just downloaded the DB 'classic' demo and have just whipped up this little program:

edit/ It's in the source code tab.


:As you can probably work out, it plots an item on the screen and then dots are randomly sent out to look for it.

Question is, how do I make it so the program remembers where it has already sent a dot and doesn't go back next time round?

(I think I explained it properly)

-Any help?

This little program is hopefully going to be the start of my 'learning' program which is going to be part of my main experiment, which is COMPUTER CONSCIOUSNESS.

Mwa hahahaha ha!

You could use an array.

You already have details of where you plotted your dots - on the screen/bitmap.

You can use the POINT function to read the colour - if it's blank, you've not been there yet.

If you are worried about the speed (or lack of) when using point, then you should try wrapping the dot/point code with LOCK PIXELS/UNLOCK PIXELS.
