8 Tanks (Quadtari) refactoring gone wrong- need help

[Fort Apocalypse]

Some time ago, I made some massive changes to 8 Tanks (Quadtari) which are attached. With a somewhat clear head, I've looked over the code, but I'm having trouble seeing why:

• the control of one tank now affects another tank also.
• the projectiles (ball, missile0, missile1, player9) now get stuck.
• the control of some tanks appears to make them go in the wrong direction.

 

I'm sorry there's so much code, but help debugging would be great if anyone has time.

 

Thanks!

You have qtcontroller set to the same variable as one of your in-game variables (Y). When I set it to var0, it seemed to fix the problem.

When that kind of thing happens and you always use Save As before making any changes, you can use a program like WinMerge to compare the last two files. I've used WinMerge a lot over the years to track down what I did to ruin everything.

Yep. I need to do that more often!
