Wow, what an amazing train of thought to come up with this coding strategy. Interesting and definitely worth the price of admission!

32 pieces, 1 byte each (0-63) gives 32 bytes total to store an entire board I would think (?).

I'm just starting with pb, and not sure how I would store it into a file, but as a string of hex numbers, 00-40, doing it that way for simplicity sake would make it 64 bytes in a straight text format ...

Well I guess we can close this thread. I decided to do some disk cleanup and even found some nasty dll's floating around in system32 - (trojans), had to boot to linux on cd to get rid of them.

Removed and reinstalled purebasic in the normal directory and everything seems to be working fine now ...

This time I uninstalled pb, then installed on drive d instead of program files-> pb.

Works fine on drive d. I have no idea why it would work everywhere but on drive c.

even stranger.

I copied the complete purebasic directory on my xp system to my 2000 system on drive I.

Copied that to my program files-> purebasic directory on drive c.

No change.

But, I executed purebasic from drive I.

It works from drive I, but not from drive C.

Well, as a programmer, using a program to program with, the lack of detail in an error message is quite puzzling.

Exactly what 'Resources' does the compiler look for?

I've removed and reinstalled completely, still the same. But I installed it on a different machine and it works fine.

Some other observations....

If I disable 'XP skin support thing', and then try to compile, it gives a linker error. If I put ...

This also results in resource error.

Resource error, even when attempting to compile any of the sample files included.

I've removed, redownloaded, re-installed (even into a different directory) - and it still does nothing but quit with a 'resource error'. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong?

Doing the simple first 'this will compile' from ...

Unfortunately this code was created by the visual editor, not hand written. ok. thanks.

Not even this will work with demo.

Demo version won't compile?
