My checkers game is now receiving a:
Script run-time error
Stack-Heap Collision
I know what the problems are and I know how to fix it, but it does show how flexible software development needs to be. I knew going in that memory constraints on the scripts were going to be tight, I just didn't figure I would hit them this quick. Here is the latest screen shot.
The good news is that I know what the problem is and I may not need to change the design too much.
The green triangles are not visible during game play except to choose the location where you can move a piece. The mechanic is to touch the piece you want to move, then the green triangles appear in locations that are open, then you click on the triangle. I've got all the movement and placement of the triangles working.
The problem occurred when I created enough extra triangles for the number of moves that might be available. For the pieces I'm saving the original location vectors (three floats) in a list. Including the ones in the center which will become the king pieces. Then removing the kings from the board (you can see the storage box in the back which will be moved under the table at the end. These vectors are big and I was also saving the triangles just for testing and that is where I hit the problem. I can really just keep them off the table at all times and don't need their initial locations. So, even though I hit what seems like a big snag, all is not lost yet... And even if it were, there is always a work around. Always.
