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.



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.
  • Click on the ...icon to configure the System Panel. SHOW ICON.
  • Select suitably contrasting colors for the Table top and background, such as ...
  • Select three views...
  • Click on the ... icon
  • Uncheck all 'Snap to' options in the ...
  • Drag and drop a cube onto the System Panel.
  • Give it 'Coordinates' X=.., Y=..,Z=... to make it sit on the Table top.
  • Color it ...
  • 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...
