Tutorial 3

Movie: 

Mana and the Fire Hydrants

 

This is Tutorial 3 which is the Fire Hydrant and Mana. When key S is type Mana walk towards the Fire Hydrant but when Mana is equal and less than 1 meter of Fire Hydrant, Mana will turn away and move to the other Fire Hydrant.  Mana wont bang to the Fire Hydrant. 

Processing Doing:

In this tutorial, the objective was to make sure Objects cannot pass through one another.

• First we create new methods to enable Mana to turn left by pressing Z, right using X or walk forward using S.
• Under the Method to walk forward [S Key] , we use the 'If Else' function and inserting '[Either [Mana distance to Fire Hydrant1 <= 1] or [Mana distance to Fire Hydrant2 <= 1], or both].
• If true, Mana turns back and walks forward 1 step.
• If false, Mana walks forward one step.
• This way, when Mana is close to the the fire hydrant, she turns around and moves forward when S key is pressed..
• Thus, she will not pass through any of the fire hydrants.
