After my game has run, this error message pops up:

Quote: "Encountered a RETURN statement when not in a GOSUB in _init.agc at line 11"

I have this in main.agc:
#include "_init.agc"
gosub _init

I have this in _init.agc:
_init:
SetWindowTitle( "2D Dynamic Shaddows" )
SetWindowSize( 160, 100, 1 )
SetVSync( 1 )
SetResolutionMode( 1 )
SetVirtualResolution( GetMaxDeviceWidth(), GetMaxDeviceHeight() )
SetDefaultMagFilter(0) // 0 nearest 1 liniar
SetDefaultMinFilter(0)
SetScissor( 0, 0, 0, 0 )
SetPrintSize( 32 )
return

Does this make sense?

This post has been marked by the post author as the answer.

If you dont actually call END then yes it makes sense as your program breaks out of its game loop and starts running through the rest of the code.

In fact in the documentation for #include it states

Quote: "Be aware that included source code is appended to the end of the program, so if you include any code that isn't part of a function it will be run if your main program reaches the end of its source code. "

And why is this not a function!! (lol) gosubs and returns... tut tut (only joking

if I didnt say it then someone else would have

"end", yes of course!

Long live GOTO! Those "functions" are just a fad.

Seriously, I use gosub strictly for crudely move bits of code away from main.agc Mentally, using another concept than a function lets me know that the purpose is radically different from that of a function. When I see a gosub in main.agc, I know that it simply means "here's a bit of code". I also know that the gosub is only executed once, and I know that it has no input or return statements.

Have you try with #insert instead of #include ?

Yes, but I actually think I prefer #include! The #insert command inserts everything in the file right there, and I want the files functions to be placed neatly at the end of main.agc
