The line in question is:

It's not as 'simple' as it might appear at first glance. For example, what happens when you have arrays of complex types (that might also include arrays of complex types as well)? Or arrays of types that refer to other types (via pointer)?

Aborting due to runtime error 7 (null pointer access) at line 411 of C:\Programming\other-projects\freebasic-games-main\space_invaders\assets.bas::MAKEBASES() To catch these kind of errors, compile the code with the -exx switch and run the executable from the command line (so you can see the output).

Mr Driller is certainly a lot more complex than the original Boulder Dash game. Falling tetris like blocks. Complex graphic effects. My interest was always in the coding challenge, not playing the game, so I guess I can't complain about the complexity. However I think a game can still be addictive ...

Looking really nice so far. Sometimes, original ideas are hard to come up with. The next best thing, then, is taking an old idea and interpret it differently. Look at the successful games out there. Not all of them have 100% original ideas (most of them don't, in fact), but they take a tried and tru...

... Like your project, it is basically abandoned, because I have no real use for it: it works, but on Windows or Linux it's pretty useless (what is the point of having a window with its own windowing subsystem inside? All those windows would still be drawn with FreeBasic primitives, and would still...

Greetings, Since in FreeBasic one can use pointer for various needs,sometimes may be as heavily as possible,I am wondering whether there is any valgrind-like tool exists to help detecting memory leakage,or what is the right to do to write a safer and more rubust program? Thanks for the help in adva...

... In C language, large structures can be declared. Just imagine: a C programmer will come to port his program to FreeBASIC. And then the compiler shows him an error. A C programmer will exclaim, "Is it still impossible to create large structures in FreeBASIC? Funny!" ... Not according t...

#Inclib "libsqlite3" Ok, ok changed to inclib "sqlite3' and now the linker tells me skipping incompatible ./libsqlite3.a when searching for -lsqlite3 Check the bitness of the library. That error means that you're trying to compile a 64-bit program linking against a 32-bit lib (or vic...

Very useful info! Thanks, srvaldez
