Hello, first question here!

I need to have the slime spots dropped by pressing 'F' to cause the ants to die. I'm new to coding and am struggling with this final aspect of my program. I cannot get my collision code to work. Any help or advice would help. I tried to include only the relevant code

------------------------------------------------------------------------

int gameState = 0;

float angle = radians(15); // rotate snail

float x = 200;

float y = 200;

boolean Slimespot = false;

float slimeangle = radians(15);

float slimeX = 200;

float slimeY = 200;

float rotateSpeed = 0.015;

float speed = 1.2;

float up = 0;

float down = 0;

float left = 0;

float right = 0;

int score = 0;

float counter = 21;

float antx = 300.0;

float anty = 100.0;

float antradius = 15.0;

float antspeedX = 2.5;

float antspeedY = 2;

float antdirectionX = 1;

float antdirectionY = -1;

boolean squareCollided = false;

class Slime {

PImage slime;

PVector position;

float x = 0;

float y = 0;

float angle = 0;

boolean Slimespot = false;

}

Slime[] slimetrail = new Slime[5];

int currentSlime = 0;

void setup() {

smooth();

textFont(createFont("Impact", 24));

ellipseMode(RADIUS);

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

slimetrail[i] = new Slime () ;

}

slime.filter(POSTERIZE,10);

}

String C = "Hypnosnail and the Ants";

String W = "You Win.";

String L = "You Lose!";

popMatrix();

angle += rotateSpeed * (right - left);

x += cos(angle) * speed * (up - down);

y += sin(angle) * speed * (up - down);

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {

if (slimetrail[i]. Slimespot == true) {

}

if (rectCollide(antx, anty, antx + antradius * 2, anty + antradius * 2, slimetrail[i].x slimetrail[i].y)) {

squareCollided = true;

}

boolean rectCollide(float left, float top, float right, float bottom,

float otherLeft, float otherTop, float otherRight, float otherBottom) {

return !(left > otherRight || right < otherLeft || top > otherBottom || bottom < otherTop);

Your rectCollide() function takes 8 parameters, you call it with only 6?

I know it needs 8, but I'm confused as to what they are for the slime object. I'm certain I have the parameters for Te ant Correct but I'm missing the slime. I want the score to go up 1 each time the ant collides with the slime.

Must be x + slime trail width, y + slime trail height, the otherRight and otherBottom.
