currentposition of guictrlpic

[CodyBarrett]

i think the title basically explains it.. but anyway im making a "SNAKE type of gui game based on arrow keymovments... and uhh i got the "FOOD" dot to reapear in a random place.. but how would i go about finding the current location of the "SNAKE" and adding pixels to it to make it move? this is my asic script (just started 30mins ago on this particualr project)

HotKeySet("{UP}", "up")

HotKeySet("{RIGHT}","right")

$SNAKE = GUICreate("SNAKE",500,500)
$Ra = Random(10,490)
GUISetBkColor(0x0C0C0C)
$R = GUICtrlCreatePic("RED DOT.bmp",$Ra,$Ra, 10, 10)
$W = GUICtrlCreatePic("WHITE DOT.bmp",10,10,10,10)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

up()
Func up()
EndFunc

down()
Func down()
EndFunc

left()
Func left()
EndFunc

right()
Func right()
EndFunc

While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSelect
WEnd

any ideas on a func for the current location?

I did something like this in Java. What I would do is make a huge array of label controls and make them different colors. Or you could use images if you really want the objects to be circular. That way, when you create an apple, you can get it's coords, and each time you move, check the coords of the snake with the coords of the apple.

what i really want is to make the SNAKE to start off moving downward like (GETPOS and then +10 pix) to the pos based on what key you press.. and IF 10000 milleseconds go by the red dot relocates...
