Alright, i tried to make my first program in with DarkBasic, using CodeSurge. And i ran into a little debug problem, and i can't figure out what the heck it means.

error:
types "TEMP0" and "game" are in compatible at line 20

highlighted:
CurrDir$=CurrDir$+"/"+game(gnum)+"/"



can anyone tell me what is wrong?

thanks,
pb

Yup, your 'game' array hasn't been defined with a type, so it has defaulted to integer - you can't add an integer and a string.

Either renaming all 'game' to 'game$', or changing your dim to 'dim game() as string' should fix this problem.

Sort of the same reason. Your variable bckgrdfile is not of type string. Rather it is of type int. So change the following line...

global bckgrdfile

to

global bckgrdfile$

It's always good to be explicit with your types otherwise you run into these problems all the time. So do this...
