Hello,
I am new to game programming and am having a lot of fun with blitzmax. My game runs fine as it stands. However, if I add any more lines of code to my main loop I get the following error when I compile:
10682:Fixup of -32856 too large for field width of 16 bits
As my game isnt finished, this is a bit of a problem. I started off coding procedurally (I've done a little sysadmin scripting before) but soon tried an Object Oriented style. Hence the Player1 ship is not an object and coded in the main loop, whereas other things are objects.
Below is a brief outline of my program flow in summary form. I'm hoping there is an obvious flaw in my approach that may cause this error and someone can kindly put me straight. What does the error mean and how can I avoid it in future? Is it related to the nested While....Wend loops?
Many Thanks,
Dave.
