Ah, I understand better now. Something like this should work. Its just a quicky, no time to really test before my doc appointment.
on mouseup local tInstructions -- gotta have this cause a non declared isn't seen as empty repeat with i = 1 to 4 switch case the backgroundcolor of button ("b" & i) is "255,255,255" if tInstructions is empty then put "W0" into tInstructions if char -2 of tInstructions is not "W" then put comma & "W0" after tInstructions add 1 to char -1 of tInstructions break case the backgroundcolor of button ("b" & i) is "0,0,255" if tInstructions is empty then put "B0" into tInstructions if char -2 of tInstructions is not "B" then put comma & "B0" after tInstructions add 1 to char -1 of tInstructions break default if tInstructions is empty then put "E" into tInstructions else put comma & "E" after tInstructions end if end switch end repeat put tInstructions end mouseup On Mon, Mar 5, 2018 at 8:28 AM, William de Smet via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > Thanks for your answer! > The exercises are actually binary exercises but the children don't know. > All they know is a 'puzzle' to solve with pixelcoloring. > Funny I can solve it this way :-) > Still figuring how to do it because the children instruction is not just > binary writing as you explained it. > > Did you see my picture? > http://www.camelcaps.nl/pixelcoding/pixelcoding.jpg > > > greetings. > > William > > > > 2018-03-05 16:10 GMT+01:00 Mike Bonner via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > > If you want to know which "pixel" is on in a row, you could treat them as > > binary bits.
