running a ray-tracing maze after an animation #297

Closed ajhcodes closed 3 years ago

ajhcodes commented 3 years ago

I am trying to run a ray-tracing maze (the same code as your demo, but with a different maze) after an animation. All that it does is play the maze at the start. How could this be fixed?

peterbrittain commented 3 years ago

Hard to say without any code... My guess is that you haven't created the right Scene sequence. You would want to have 2 Scenes - one for the animation (which stops after a fixed time or moves on when you press a certain key) and then the other to run the ray casting game.

Thankyou! I have fixed it, so it works now. One last question though- how would I get the maze to close and go to the next scene when you get to the end of the maze?

You'd need to put some logic into the program somewhere to detect that you have got to the end of the maze (e.g. in the Gamecontroller) and raise a suitable Exception (https://asciimatics.readthedocs.io/en/stable/widgets.html#exceptions)
