Problem using variables and DIM

[esplonky]

every time i use one of RT's tutorials i always get this when i put his code into mine, and it's usually because of dim.

 

this is the error:

 

[[email protected] pong]# make

2600basic.sh default.bas -O

then 0000 ???? (R )

pfhalfwidth 0000 ???? (R )

There's no "ball0x" or "ball0y" defined in bB. I think you mean "ballx" and "bally".

 

Also, you have a line...

 

ifjoy0fire then

 

...you need a space after the "if" and some actual code needs to follow the "then"

i accidentally forgot to delete the ifjoy0fire then, because i didn't need it

i fixed those two errors and now i get this error when i try to compile:

Instead of pulling bits and pieces out of an example program and creating a mangled mess, you might want to start with the example program and make little changes here and there. When one little change works, you can make another little change and so on until you have what you want.

Also I think it doesn't like double underscores in labels

i fixed those two errors and now i get this error when i try to compile:

...

 

--- Unresolved Symbol List

pfcenter 0000 ???? (R )

0.knock_player_back 0000 ???? (R )

ball0y 0000 ???? (R )

...

You still have a ball0y in there somewhere.
