Hi, I am trying to compile darkanoid from game programming pro second edition. I thought I hadn't typed it in correctly so opened the source from the disk. Same problem!!
The error is:-
parameter mismatch in command `sync` at line 49.
This line in full is "sync on"

Could anyone point me in the right direction please.
I'm using the latest version of darkbasic 1.054

Thank you in advance.

Finally sussed it!!!
After checking through dozens of posts I found an unrelated one that mentioned installing darkbasic in the root of C: drive.

Problem solved. Must be an issue with windows 8, UAC was switched off as well.

Just for your information, version 1.054 is the one you get straight off the CD. The newest version should be 1.0761, which is literally years newer :p
There is also a beta for 1.077 which lots of people use.
