Thread: Making a series of Booleans act as a string of numbers

you have six inputs so that gives plenty of combinations that can be stored in an array and referenced according to their sequence to then do a particular action, but its hard to say more because there is no such thing as just 'code to turn left' its all relative to end application in the sense that if you are making an object on screen turn left then that would need code saying stuff like >

while left
Decrement Xcoordinate of vehicle image
increment animation left [clipcount]
blit animation
increment clip count
if clip count == maxclips
clip count = 0;

but your robot would need other instructions to turn left,
i dunno >



while loop that performs 'newaction' until it changes
//
//
get input() //include null action in case nothing changes

switch(input_type)

case left start steering servo, direction = anticlockwise, newaction = left

case right, reverse of above
case forward start main motor, direction = clockwise (or however it is built)
case back start main motor, direction = anticlockiwse (reverse of above)
case stop
//
//
//
return to start loop, get more instructions

Seems like a great job for bitfields:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#define FarL 0x1
#define MidL 0x2
#define InsL 0x4
#define InsR 0x8
#define MidR 0x10
#define FarR 0x20

int main(void)
{
  unsigned int bitfield = FarL | MidL | InsL | MidR | FarR;

  if(bitfield == 0x37)
  {
    /* Turn left */
  }

  return 0;
}
