This exercise looks at ways in which two objects interact on the System Panel.
This is important when considering collisions between two objects.
It does not design a flowchart, but looks at configuring the collision control icon found on the System Panel.
Contents
Set up the Flowcode flowchart
- Open a new flowchart, accepting the default microprocessor.
- Make sure that the System Panel is visible, using the View menu if necessary.

- Drag and drop a sphere onto the System Panel.
- Give it 'Coordinates' X=.., Y=..,Z=... to make it sit on the Table top.
- Color it...
- Move the sphere to the start position shown.
- Click on the 'Collision Control' icon, and select 'move through'. SHOW ICON.
- This applies when an object may enter a marked zone,
- Move the sphere towards the cube
