Compiling Error Bb

[GemWare Games]

So I'm working on my first game, and when I try to compile, it doesn't work . The "error" is one of the color codes, but it is indented and correct, and nothing works. Please help. (Program has been removed as the problem has been solved. Thanks again to Random Terrain and bogax!)

It's probably choking on this stuff:

---

   COLUBK = $02/2
   COLUPF = $F0/240 & $1E/30 & $40/64

---

Why are you dividing and ANDing? Just put in a decimal or hex number for COLUBK and COLUPF without the extra stuff and you shouldn't have a problem.

Oh thanks. Much appreciated!

I agree with RT use constants for your color instead of those constant expressions

 

division takes a lot of time unless it's division by a power of 2

 

having said that, it compiles fine for me if I include the div mul routines

Thanks as well! I'm just stumbling in the dark with Batari Basic, just feeling my way through things. I'm quite new to this.

The bB page has some example programs that you might want to play around with:

More example programs will be added some time this year.
