blank screen?

[blank screen?]

You

Do you see anything wrong with this:

 

drawscreen_loop

drawscreen

goto draw_loop

 

Take a second to look at it. I'll wait . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you see the problem? There are actually two problems. Your goto isn't pointing to a label that exists. The second problem is that you don't want to start a label or variable name with a keyword. A great way to avoid that is to use an underscore. I start labels with two underscores and variable aliases with one underscore. Example:

 

__Main_Loop

drawscreen

goto __Main_Loop

You sir...are a lifesaver! It works perfectly! I don't know how to thank you!

[blank screen?]

Everything works fine and compiling works like a charm. However, when i run my game and Stella opens up, i get a blank screen as opposed to viewing my sprites. Did i do anything wrong?

Probably should confirm your installation first.

 

How to 'Install' Visual batari Basic on a Windows PC

 

Got the Error to stop. Only now it tells me a "code must active to compile."

[Cannot Compile.]

Hello everyone!. Whenever i try to compile in BatariBasic, It always gives me an error message. "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue." Then when i click the details tab, this is what i receive:

 

"See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box."

 

How do i fix this error?. It's making me want to pull my hair out.
