Hi again,
Another "should be easy one" -- using microworlds pro, and the student =
is
having a turtle go along a straight course to a finish line. We want to =
test
for when the turtle has reached or passed the finish line.
Currently we have something like
If t1's xcor > 304 [gameover]
We're also trying
If t1's "pos =3D [304 -99]=20
[gameover]
Since we're advancing the turtle an exact number throughout the game, we
should be able to pinpoint its exact position, but that doesn't seem to =
work
either.
TIA,
=20
Doesn't seem to be working, however.
