GregBUG

ahhhhrrrgggg!!!!

i've lost 3 hours to find this bug!!!!!

in my game i've added some sprite...

an all was ok...

the i added another sprite to test...

the game crashed continuously...

aften 2 hours i found the problem...

DO NOT USE ANY VARIABLE WITH THE NAME b2...

because it is used internally by gideors for box 2d !!!!


ahhhrrrgggg!!!

why Gideors compiler do not warn me ?

MikeHart

Because it is LUA? Lua is very flexible but also can lead you easily into traps if you are not carefull.
I would be surprised if Gideros could catch this.

GregBUG

yes! now i know!

sorry but i'm a very novice in lua coding...
(i've coded for years in delphi, visual c++ and blitz languages...)

ciao.

MikeHart

One problem is that LUA is typeless. First a is an integer, next you can assign a string to it.

GregBUG

and another problem is that I'm used to strongly typed languages.
