Yeah, I'm getting the same thing. Some programs compile fine now, but one I'm working on also gives the pfwidth 0000 ???? error too. I'm glad this time the problems I'm experiencing aren't just me.

The arrows will appear after you have taken the treasure. Now you have to leave the room on the right side (open the door ) Oh, so I haven't even make it to room 2 yet. I see.

Room 2 is different than the picture. I have arrows shooting across the screen I have to go above or below.

Stage 2 is not finished yet - or do you mean room 2? Then I have to work on the collision-detection Stage, room, whatever . Anyway, after what I posted I tried again and was able to get further, but still couldn't win the round...but it just might be me. The next people to post here might say they can get to room three just fine.

Pretty good, except I can't get past the second level because the player gets stuck too walls too easy, making it impossible to not get hit twice.

As mentioned above, I have (referring to it as the "MinGW build"). That's when the error shows up. Thanks for the help, though. How awkward. Sorry about that.

Try This

Well, I just had to use a different computer. There's something wrong with this one with regards to bB that causes me to get errors that no-one else gets. So anyway, the problem is fixed now. Thanks.

Oops, originally I had the playfield in bank 4. Anyway, removing bank4 from the gosub command still gives me the same error.

Sorry, it's not.

It's the DataGridViewControl. -Jeff OK, I thought it might be something like that. Thank you very much. No problem, PM me if you have trouble understanding the events. -Jeff Using Google I see that within the cellclick event that e.ColumnIndex and e.RowIndex will tell me which cell was clicked, but I still need to look up how to select a cell to change its background color.

If you made Visual bB using Visual studio (or just Visual Basic, or Visual C++, or Visual whatever) how did you make the sprite and playfield editors? Or more specifically, what control did you use for the grid the images are drawn on? I'm trying to make something for bB, but don't worry, it's not a sprite or playfield editor. My program would spit out data statements.

I know I'm posting a lot and probably being a little annoying, so I'll just say this one last thing. I played around with different files to see if I could pinpoint the problem. I put all the old files back, tried compatibility mode which didn't work, and then put back the minGW files and low and behold everything works fine now. Or at the very least data statements don't cause an error. I'm not sure what the problem was, and the only thing I did was replace the minGW files with SeaGtGruff's files, and then replaced those with the minGW files again.

I discovered that it's the preprocessor that's causing the error.

tColumn0Level0 is the pointer. This should have the information you're looking for Click Here I read that, and couldn't find what I was looking for. Here is what I want to do: dim currentLevel = a dim selectedLevelIndex = b data tColumn0Level0 some data for the first level end data tColumn0Level1 some data for the second level end if selectedLevelIndex = 0 then currentLevel = tColumn0Level0 if selectedLevelIndex = 1 then currentLevel = tColumn0Level1 rem fill in the playfield with the level data var25 = currentLevel[index] var29 = currentLevel[index+1] var33 = currentLevel[index+2] Is there any way to do something like that? I see what you're saying and I don't think you can. I assume you tried the code and it didn't work. If so, then there's your answer I'm afraid.

When I said I couldn't run bB in Windows 7 you gave me some different files. They seemed to work at first, but now I'm getting weird errors. For example, I get an error message if I attempt to use a data statement. Here's code for an example program, and here's the error: dim Test=a data MyData 0 end Here's the error: ---------- Capture Output ---------- > "C:\Atari2600\bB\2600bas.bat" C:\Atari2600\bB\samples\Test.bas batari Basic v1.01 (C)2005-2007 (5): Error: Unknown keyword: B Compilation failed. > Terminated with exit code 0. Do you have any idea of what's going on?

Oops, I misunderstood you. Anywayway, Batari has it right. I went ahead and tried one last thing before trying Batari's files. I cut and pasted the first line from the 2600bas.bat file, substituting sample.bas for %1%. The commands ran sample.bas through the precompiler and then the compiler and stored the result in bB.asm. Looking at bB.asm it says that 2600basic.exe couldn't be executed.

I went ahead and tried those files even though my OS is 32 bit, and they work. Thank you very much.

Both my copy of XP and 7 are the 32 bit versions. But thank you anyway.

Do you get the same result if you just try to compile using the batch file outside of VbB? I haven't upgrade to Windows 7 yet to test myself. -Jeff Happens under Crimson Editor too. Well, at the very least I have my virtual environment.

After upgrading to XP Pro I had to run bB in a virtual environment because I couldn't compile any programs. The virtual PC was operating under VISTA. I just upgraded my computer (physical computer, not the virtual one) to Windows 7 Professional, so I downloaded the bB files from the bB homepage, plus the updated files from SeaGtGruff. I then downloaded Visual bB, set up the paths, tried a couple of sample programs (Draw and Zombie Chase), tried to compile them, and for each one got this error: DASM V2.20.07, Macro Assembler ©1988-2003 draw.bas.asm (1): error: Unknown Mnemonic 'execute'. Complete. 2600 Basic compilation Failed! I'm guessing that this is a problem with my computer and nothing's wrong with Windows, bB, or Visual bB, right?
