[Al Staffieri]

The official 3.9.91 update is available.

v3.9.91 - 8/23/08
-FIX: There was a bug in compiled games that wouldn't show more than 10 sprites.
-FIX: REFRESH TEXT did not erase the card text if the original card text was blank.
-FIX: The PRINT command wasn't printing text in compiled games if a semicolon was used at the end of the text.
-FIX: Adding strings together was not always adding the strings correctly.
-FIX: SPRITECOLLIDE was returning true even if one of the sprites was hidden.
-FIX: There were still some cases where the line after END REPEAT was not being run.
-FIX: There was a "Nested REPEAT" error when running a 2nd repeat loop inside an ON event structure (On MOUSEDOWN, ON MOUSEUP, ON TIMER, ON KEYDOWN).

Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you!!!! Now in just a little while I shall Release Labyrinth.

[Tireas Dragon]

Uh oh. I can't release Labyrinth again. Because Game works in Run Mode but says there is a glitch in compiled mode. I can't find the glitch at all because in compiled mode it says nothing about the glitch.

[Al Staffieri]

Explain what's happening different and maybe I can track it down.

[Tireas Dragon]

I really have no Idea whats happening. It just says script error, in run mode no error, only when its compiled.

Not a very good idea writing your eMail address like that. You never know when spam bots are looking for eMail addresses to spam out.

I think I know the problem, GM might think that the Repeat never ended. To fix this glitch simply allow repeating repeats like this.

REPEAT 10
  REPEAT 10
    x = x + 1
  END REPEAT
END REPEAT
ALERT $x$

This would alert  "100" because it repeated the repeat 10 times x = x + 1 therefore x = 10 * 10 which equals 100 It would be a very useful feature and would probably clear up the bug that keeps on recurring.
