Score is always shown as 65535

[+atari2600land]

I put at the beginning #score=0 but when I tell it to print the score, it always is 65535. Any ideas why and how to fix this?

You do have an stack overflow for GOTOing out of a gosub.



line 131: if jumpingthingy=150 then goto thebeginning

I would move that to the main game loop. I added STACK_CHECK to your project and compiled it. The score does start at 0 and does increase when the screen move up.

I am using IntyBASIC v1.2.9 and using ‎Tuesday, ‎July ‎14, ‎2015, ‏‎2:19:38 PM version of AS1600, haven't yet used the updated version of AS1600 that was recently patched.

That line doesn't seem to be the problem. I moved it. I even commented it out, and it's still the same problem.

More information about your environment would be useful. In fact, I would ask that anyone making a bug report or ask for help include this information, as the details often matter quite a lot.

• What flags did you give to IntyBASIC's compiler?
• What flags did you give to AS1600?
• What flags did you give to jzIntv?
• What version of IntyBASIC are you using? (Note: There were two releases of 1.2.9 and they're different, but I couldn't tell you how to tell them apart.)
• What version of AS1600 are you using?
• What version of jzIntv are you using?

 

For IntyBASIC and recent versions of AS1600 and jzIntv, you can get the version as follows:

.

$ intybasic

IntyBASIC compiler v1.2.9 Nov/07/2017
(c) 2014-2016 Oscar Toledo G. http://nanochess.org/

[... lots more stuff snipped ...]


$ as1600 -v
AS1600 built from SVN Revision 1644

$ jzintv

jzIntv v1.0
SVN Revision 1644

[... lots more stuff snipped ...]

.

If I had to venture a guess, you're compiling your game with the --cc3 flag. There is a known bug in IntyBASIC where it fails to include the RAM section in the output. You can work around this by adding this to your CFG file:

$8000 - $9FFF = RAM 16

This is what I use:

Remove the --jlp switch from compilation. The most probable thing is you're running jzintv without the --jlp switch so it reads non-existant memory.

[+atari2600land]

Yep, that did it. Thank you!

[intvnut]

Or, leave the --jlp switch on, and run jzintv with --jlp, or upgrade to a newer jzintv + AS1600 that turns it on automagically based on the output of IntyBASIC.

 

I've been taking great pains to make these features all play nicely together.

Or use the IntyBASIC SDK, which will make sure to use proper flags between both.

 

I should really update the SDK with the latest version of the tools...
