bkumanchik Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 can you call a procedure from an included file in cvbasic? I can't seem to get it to work.

Brian There shouldn't be any problem. An included file is like having the source in the same file. Maybe you have a syntax problem? A snippet of code would be useful.

bkumanchik Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 I decided to try one more thing and it worked - I moved my include to the end of my file!

bkumanchik Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 I love this, I have purchased all of your books and created this demo for the Intellivision and the Colecovision, now I have to tackle the Atari 2600 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/369021-call-a-procedure-from-an-included-file-in-cvbasic/#findComment-5497857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I'm glad you managed to get it working. Cute little game! I now see what you did. If you include a sprite at the start of the game, technically you are inserting data in the path of execution, so it will crash. Sometimes I forget to say that the execution goes from the first line of source code, and there shouldn't be any data there (like DATA or BITMAP). Another mistake would be starting the program with a PROCEDURE, because it would start execution at the first line of the procedure. It shouldn't be too difficult to do it for Atari 2600, the first demo game in the book (shooting a fly with a spaceship, talking about being overkill) is somewhat similar.
