\b;Instruction \c;distance\n;
|
||
|
|
With the instruction \c;distance( , )\n; you can calculate the distance between two positions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\b;Basic use
|
||
|
|
If you write \c;position\n; alone, this gives you the position of the bot that executes the program. If you write the name of a variable followed by \c;.position\n;, this gives you the position of the object described in the variable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is a program that moves forward, covering exactly the distance between the bot and the closest ant:
|
||
|
|
\c;
|
||
|
|
\s; item = \l;radar\u cbot\radar;(AlienAnt);
|
||
|
|
\s; \l;move\u cbot\move;(distance(position, item.position));
|
||
|
|
\n;
|
||
|
|
This is of course pure suicide. Better to stop 40 meters before, in order to be at shooting range:
|
||
|
|
\c;
|
||
|
|
\s; item = radar(AlienAnt);
|
||
|
|
\s; move(distance(position, item.position) - 40);
|
||
|
|
\n;
|
||
|
|
