Yes, a png file with transparency would be best.

There are a number of ways to create mazes. You can use images as already was mentioned, or you can use (vector) graphics such as lines etc and groupd them. Then you would just check the intersection with the group instead of the image.

You can also check for intersection with the "pixels" or "opaque Pixels" instead of using 255.

There are various simple explanations, directions, screens and code examples at tinyurl.com/erhs-lc

more will follow...

Thanks

Dear Mr Pruszko,
I have no idea of who or what PGCPS is, and have no intention of endorsing any institution without thorough investigation, but...
WICKED COOL! :D :D :D
It's clear you have taken LC to heart and are promoting it's use in education. Well done!
You should really contact Runrev and Heather and get your site mentioned in the newsletter.

Kind Regards,
Simon

In case anyone (like me) was wondering what Simon was referring to - it's the link in Newbie4's post - the PGCPS (Prince Georges County Public Schools) website regarding the use of LC to create Games.

Here is a full version of the link:
https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/livecode/home

And I agree - very nice :)

Cheers,
Dave

Thank you for the kind words.
LiveCode is perfect for learning to program for students and using it to make your own games is the best way to learn.
They have written some very creative and fun games. I am looking for ways to make them available. I will be putting those games and the code up on the website very soon.
Anyone is welcome to use the site to learn or just for ideas. I am also starting to include hints, shortcuts and advanced tips on it.
I am just learning myself but they ask so many questions and are going in so many directions that I am forced to learn too fast. So I apologize for any errors or mistakes in advance. I am adding to it as we go on to new types of games and other programming.

Again thanks
