Me and my partner are doing a final project in a class and it involves a maze and a boy.
The problem is that the boy can run right thru the maze and we don't want it to.
The maze has no sub parts so we can't even add a boolean function or anything.
How do we prevent this from happening?
please help us..

Well theoretically you could put a whole bunch of 2-d squares all around every edge of the maze and put them all into a list and then make a simple collision detection method from there.

The hardest part would just be to organize all of those squares to every side of the maze, and you may have hundreds of squares depending on how big and complex the maze is. Also, if you do this, make sure all of the squares are facing the same way; don't have one square facing towards the wall, and another square facing outwards, have them either all facing either towards the wall or all facing outward.

Well we were going to do that but like it had too many blocks and it was hard to organize them.

If you want you can post your world and I'll see if I can organize them for you. I might even create the collision detection method if I am inspired to.

This shouldn't be too hard. I actually expected there to be a lot more than this. You're program is not very... in depth. If you want, I can add some things to your world to make it a lot more creative, like a scoring system, timer, different point of views, etc. By doing this, however, it would be almost like cheating, do you still want me to do it? I have already fixed some things like putting all of the lollipops in a group and creating a very simpler "click" method to make them disappear (I made it so that they only disappear when you are 8 meters away from them, so that you cannot just go through and click all of them at once, you actually have to find them first.)

I will work on the collision detection now, but if you want me to add other things like a scoring system just ask and I will.
