Did you set the working directory if you are running the game .exe from the IDE automatically?

Did you change the .ini file accordingly? I''ve change dit, yet it still crashes, both under MSVC 6.0 and DevCPP.

In the readme.txt it says "Bots cannot see walls (at this time; we''ll see how it goes)."
It would be nice to know where the walls are, but it could be inferred from a lack of obstacles. Perhaps some non-blocking little plants could be added to the arena to give better visual reference to the bots.

float Angle, Distance;int Type;if( g_pCore->GetNumObjectsInSight( ) > 0 ) {        g_pCore->GetObjectsInSight( 1, Type, Angle, Distance );}g_pCore->TurnRight( 0x20 );

I got this error when adding this code (and only this code) to the update function:

float Angle, Distance;int Type;if( g_pCore->GetNumObjectsInSight( ) > 0 ) {        g_pCore->GetObjectsInSight( 1, Type, Angle, Distance );}g_pCore->TurnRight( 0x20 );   

Sometimes it crashes right away, and sometimes the robot has the time to turn around until it sees something, at which point it crashes.

The same error happens if I try to reach object 0 instead of 1.
Compiling using Visual C++ 6.

Something I should have explained in greater detail.. the object index starts at 0. So object 1 is 0, object 2 is 1, object n is n-1, etc.

And you don''t do range checking?!

OK, major problem.
I generated a new skeleton, and put the following code in my Update method:

g_pCore->Taunt ("Hello?");

I then copied the resulting DLL that was generated to the "bots" folder, and renamed the extension of the existing DLL there so it would not be found. I then ran the arena, yet upon pressing F5, I get a "Memory Could Not Be Read" error, at 0x000000. I''m using an introductory version of MSVC, and this displays a popup box telling everyone I am so, when any application I generate is run. Normally an application simply displays the box until the user presses OK and then runs the DLL code, but it crashes GD:Arena.

Other than switching over to Dev-CPP to develop in, is there anything I can do?
