Small problem with counter

637pm

Sorry for lack of comments in code feel free to ask questions about code, but this is my code so far, its 99% complete, however I have small issue, when you press the down arrow key, you will shoot a flame out, when this hits a ball it will add 1 to hits, however if you hit 2 balls with one flame it will add 2 to hits, I only want it to add 1 to hits no matter how many balls you hit with one flame (copy paste code and run for a better understanding).

```

int[] orbit = {50, 100, 150, 200, 250};

float[]speed = new float [5];

float[] angle = new float [5];

color[] c = new color [255];

float[] planetx = new float [5];

float[] planety = new float [5];

int sunX = 200; Int sunY = 25;

int flameX = sunX;

int flameY = -10000;

int flames = 5;

int hits = 0;

int planetcount = 5;

float collision;

boolean[] hitornot = new boolean [5];

boolean hitred[] = new boolean [5];

void hitcount() {

for (int i = 0; i < orbit.length; i++) {

collision = dist(flameX, flameY, planetx[i], planety[i]);

if (collision <= 10 + 10/2 && !hitornot[i] ) {

  hitornot[i] = true;

  hits++;

  planetcount--;

}

}

}

Ummm, sorry for the code formatting, idk how to use forums haha

koogs

edit post, highlight code, press ctrl-o to format

Taking a wild guess here as the code is hard to follow (please format)... This next:

if (collision <= 10 + 10/2 && !hitornot[i] ) {
  hitornot[i] = true; 
  hits++; 
  planetcount--; 
}

Should be replace with:

boolean gloabalHit=false;
if (collision <= 10 + 10/2 && !hitornot[i] ) {
  hitornot[i] = true; 
  globalHit |=  hitornot[i];  //Set globalHit to true if at least one is hit
  planetcount--; 
}

//Now increase it once
if(globalHit) { hits++; }
