Sprite comparisons (sort of) work now

[mikerr]

Saw this sketch is working:

http://www.codebug.co.uk/explore/codebu ... e-compare/

So tried my own, but couldn't get much working:

http://www.codebug.co.uk/explore/codebu ... e-compare/

I know the problem is that the working version generated the following class-based comparison:

Code: Select all

if (sprite0.is_equal(sprite1))

whereas my non-working sketches generate

Code: Select all

if (screen == new CharSprite('A'))

A small change, if only we could edit that code-viewer window !!

That's interesting. I didn't know sprites could be compared.

I wonder if it is because you are comparing two different types of items (even though one is generated from the other).

Two different types of items can be compared to see if they are exactly the same but it handles it in a different way than comparing identical items.

Nope, doesn't seem to be the case.

The code viewer box doesn't seem to update everytime you open it. I'm gonna run through some variables.

It seems to be that the sprite has to be initially set before the comparison will work.

This variant seems to achieve what you were looking for.

I don't know if this will work, I don't have my CodeBugs yet.

Is that set to private? I get Error 403 Forbidden when I click the link.

No, But I when copied the URL from the webpage it was from edit mode, here is a working link: http://www.codebug.co.uk/explore/codebug/497/

I learn more about using the codebug site every day: the original link was to the Create folder so will only allow me (the creator) to view it. For anyone else they will have to view it from the explore folder.

Anonymous sprite comparison is now fixed.
