What is the program supposed to do? I ran it for 3 minutes straight. No timer was disabled, although I did notice that one of the circles never moved. Once two of the circles where in the box, they stayed there and followed it when I moved the box around the screen. Also, when I moved the box to the not moving circle, I noticed that this circle didn't start following the box when it was captured by the box.
ASKER
All three of the circles are supposed to follow the box. When the program runs, only two of the timers will run (they aren't technically disabled)- leaving either one circle and the box not moving, or two circles. I can't figure out why the timers stop working.

Oh yes, I forgot. Reviving Pac Man are you? :)

Ah ... kickass ... thanks dude.
And yes, it is pacman, however, I'm going to make the three ghosts have unbeatable AI.

I actually wrote a Pacman for my assembler course in school (umm, decades ago) and the AI in those things were hard back then (meaning there WERE tricks to get out of it, but if they came at you at all 4 directions, you were toast).
Just figured doing it in a structured way would make your life a LOT easier. For the baddies, perhaps use any value above 0 for the mobile and 0 for the player, that way, the movement routine could check on 0 player, for a key press. And anything above 0, the AI would look at 0's data. :)
Another idea, map out the area using an array, so the ghosts (baddies) can map a path. Kind of like those old mouse maze runner programs in the ol' days.
