Syntax Error- Help!

[New Guy]

I started a new project in Visual Batari Basic, and both projects wont recompile, and ends up with a syntax error. Should I post the code I'm using to get some help.

You need to post something. Either the code or what it said the error was.

That would be best. I'm sure one of the code wizards around here will help you.

goto draw_loop

 

 

I'm using a tutorial, and it stops working after I place the code for the characters.

...
COLUBK = $C6
COLUPF = $26
player0x=50:player0y=50
player1x=20:player1y=20
player0:
011100
011000
...

The lines above starting with "player" need to begin with a space or two.

[abaudrand]

the problem should come from the players' data:

 

player1:

0000000

0101010

1111111

1010101

0000000

0101010

1111111

1010101

end

 

don't forget the indentation (the spaces before lining the 1 and 0) and the END is not indented

players must be 8 width but of any heights

 

Keep creating, you won't regret it.

 

Edit

change 0 and 1 (I forgot the playfield works with X and . :$ )

Since the forum software mangles some data and can remove spaces, you might want to attach your .bas file to you post.

. . . you might want to attach your .bas file to you post.

In case you don't know how, here is a post about it:

Greetings, all. It seems this forum hasn't been touched in some time, but I have a dire question and I can't find any answers on the Internet after my hours of searching. A note before I list the problem: All of my files, Batari Basic, Visual BB, and DASM are up to date. Every time that I try to compile something it says that a syntax error is occurring at line 0 column 0. And this is with any text! It could be REM statement or even a blank, it doesn't change, and it's the only error that pops up. My .bas file is included

Greetings, all. It seems this forum hasn't been touched in some time . . .

You're posting in a thread that somebody else created back in 2010. You can post your own threads in the actual batari Basic forum here:

About the problem with your code, some of your lines are not indented. You can read more about that here:
