hi everybody, I wrote a program of more than 2100 lines of code... the problem is that some things works and other don't ! the new and latest thing that dont work is: 'printing a variable'

If the program don't print the variable, it will work rather correctly...than badly, beacause I comment the line that print the variable:

+ Code Snippet

SET CURSOR 0,0 : PRINT " VIES / LIFE : ";V_VIES_JOUEUR_E;" --- SCORE: "
		rem PRINT V_SUPER_SCORE_E

BUT if don't comment this line :

+ Code Snippet

SET CURSOR 0,0 : PRINT " VIES / LIFE : ";V_VIES_JOUEUR_E;" --- SCORE: "
		PRINT V_SUPER_SCORE_E

the program will crash after blocking a long time !
note that these two lines of code are placed in a 2000 lines program... I have noticed that many things that worked yesterday won't work today even when nothing changed ! In my opinion DBP is unpredictable, and it don't help the programmer !
take a look at this :
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=169885&b=10
the thread is locked because it is in the wrong board BUT the problem highlighted is serious, true...

what do you think about this serious problem, is there a solution or an update that would fix it ?

You could try using the text command so it would be

+ Code Snippet

text 0,0, " VIES / LIFE : "+str$(V_VIES_JOUEUR_E)+" --- SCORE: "+str$(V_SUPER_SCORE_E)

If it hasn't exploded yet, I haven't touched it.

@Madscientist, using text command, another problem arise ! :
This don't work for me:

+ Code Snippet

CENTER TEXT SCREEN WIDTH()/2,0,"SCORE: "+STR$(V_SUPER_SCORE_E)

this works:

+ Code Snippet

CENTER TEXT SCREEN WIDTH()/2,0,STR$(V_SUPER_SCORE_E)

frustrating, the only difference is 'score:'
it seems like the bigger the code is... more you get insuperable difficulties !

EDIT:
This works:

+ Code Snippet

		SET CURSOR 0,0
		PRINT " VIES / LIFE : ";V_VIES_JOUEUR_E
		PRINT " ENNEMIS RESTANTS / ENEMIES LEFT : ";V_NbreEnnemis_E
		PRINT " SCORE : ";V_SUPER_SCORE_E

this don't work:

+ Code Snippet

SET CURSOR 0,0 : PRINT " VIES / LIFE : ";V_VIES_JOUEUR_E;" --- SCORE: "
PRINT V_SUPER_SCORE_E

this don't work : hiding an object when an entity can't fire:

+ Code Snippet

IF AI Entity Exist ( Z ) = 1 AND OBJECT POSITION Y(Z)>-10
IF AI Get Entity Can Fire(Z) = 0 THEN HIDE OBJECT Z+2
ENDIF

this don't work and crash: the same thing differently:

+ Code Snippet

			IF AI Entity Exist ( Z ) = 1 AND OBJECT POSITION Y(Z)>-10
// 				IF AI Get Entity Can Fire(Z) = 0 AND OBJECT VISIBLE(Z+2)=1 THEN HIDE OBJECT Z+2
rem			IF AI Entity Exist ( Z ) = 1
 				IF AI Get Entity Can Fire(Z) = 0
 					HIDE OBJECT Z+2
 				ELSE
 					SHOW OBJECT Z+2
 				ENDIF
			ENDIF

Very odd behaviour indeed. What you really need to do is provide a snippet we can compile that reproduces the errors. Your using Dark AI I pressume? Consider producing a snippet without the use of Dark AI. This alone should determine if the issue lies within DBP or the Dark AI plugin. In addition to this; are you utilising any other plugins with your current code? Many users here probably have code just as lengthy if not longer, yet nobody seems to have reported the same issue. It could also benefit if you were to tell us what version of DBP you have installed.
