Cool!

How much has to happen in order to get a stack overflow?
Its in an area where some functions call each other, so it kinda makes sense

@adriweb I thought table.getn was removed after Lua 5.0 and replaced with the # operator.

@epic7 It depends on how Lua was set up on the system. I don't know the details because that gets into complicated C stuff.
I can take a look at your code to see if I can spot an optimization.

on.create doesn't work with oclua? No wonder... That should be on Inspired Lua, it'd help a lot. Is there any advantage with using on.create?

This is what the Nspire Scripting Application Programming Interface document says.

Quote from: Nspire Scripting Application Programming Interface

15.13 create
on.create()
This routine is called when the script application is created. The window size and graphics context are valid at this point.
Use this routine to initialize graphical objects based on the window size. Don’t actually paint the screen in this routine since the on.paint event handler will be called soon after this routine finishes.

If you are making an app that depends on the screen size you can then use platform.window:height() or platform.window:width() to do calculations. I suppose you could call it later in the program again. I was just testing to see if I had any issues with it.

Ok. Thanks!

I never played that game so I have no clue how it goes on, but I'll probably give this a try once it's finished to see how it is. Glad to see you working on Nspire projects.

Same. I don't think I've ever even heard of it... Looks confusing

Maybe you're using local variables like they where global variables...

Like in the following part of the code, who is "d"?

Code: [Select]

function turn() --function finished/near finished
  get() 
  count[land]=0 --reset count 
  land=click --set to change table pos to click 
  for e=1, d do 
  land=land+1 
  set(find[e]) 
  platform.window:invalidate() 
  for pause=1, 250 do 
  end 
  end 
  check() 
end

Edit: I see now that there's a "d" inside the get() function... Try to set d=0 when the function turn() starts, maybe that's just what it needed... (Since is not reset on the other function...)

Hi there epic7, I wanted to PM you but couldn't find how to do it. (I wanted to ask about the progress of this game)

So, I was bored & decided to check the code & fix it (it was the problem I mentioned before that "d" was not reset). Also added a few functions & tweaks, hope you don't mind.

Code: [Select]

-- GLOBALS --
click=1 
land=1

player1=true 
extra=false 
canMove=true

                coord[pos+1]=math.random(0,16)

I think you have to have made 5 posts before you gain the option to PM (to prevent spambots from sending messages to users and whatnot).

cyanophycean314 · « **Reply #55 on:** February 10, 2012, 04:41:55 pm »

I think the progress of all Lua development has slowed. I'm really enjoying playing Game Boy games on my Nspire, you know?

epic7 · « **Reply #56 on:** February 10, 2012, 05:52:14 pm »

Cool! Ill put that in my code, which currently fails at some stack overflow errors

I haven't done much programming lately

someone · « **Reply #57 on:** February 10, 2012, 06:14:13 pm »

Yea, usually that's why topics become inactive, so I wanted to send a PM since I added some tweaks to the code & wouldn't knew if it bothered you or was ok.

Anyway, keep it up epic7 & hope you can finish it soon

Gawd i used to play this game all the time!
Thanks for bringing back a classic!
