I have a bunch of Ideas for games and stuff, and I know how to make most of
the parts, but I can't figure out a routine for contact(for example,
character touching an item. Can anyone give me an Idea?

Hi Charles, I am Eduardo, I am a beginner, so don't be angry with me if my
idea doesn't work. It's just it: give values to the character position and
item position(like x,y for character and a,b for item, for example). I did
a function to test if x(atom position of character) is equal to a but if
you like, make your own relation. That's it, if you don't understand it,
write me and when I have more time, I'll try something else.
Just use this routine and write back if it work, I am going to make games
too, thats it.
Just to remember, a and b are coordinates of character and x and y are
item coordinates im my code. Enjoy!
PS - include it in your game, call cheack_contact in the loop that checks
the commands of moving character. It will return 1 if occurs contact.

Hi guys, and Charles, I am not quite sure that you can read files in MIME,
because it I am sending again the code, copy it and paste in a file .E
Sorry for my fail...

--------- CODE starts here (without this line, obvious) ------------
function check_contact(atom a, atom b, atom x, atom y)
-- pay atention: a and b are coordinates of character, and x and y are of
item, for example
if a=x and b>y-10 or a=x and b<y+10 then
return 1
else
return 0
end if
end function

Hey Charles, I forgot to say just a thing, if you need a special routine
(for example, that reads a character encountering an enemy), you can put
just a variable, that is set to 0 if character is not atacking and to 1 if
character is atacking, this is a good way to make contact and check atack
or not and other special actions 
Just a curiosity, what kind of game is yours?
If my routine check_contact haven't the precision that you need (it
abranges an area of 10x10 pixels), write me, I'll re-write it and we will
see what we can do.
Bye.
