As my project slowly progresses and line count is ever higher, now suddenly the compiler is complaining about my comments.

myVar = myVar + 1 // increase myVar will give me an error similar to "could not determine parameter type of '1 `````````r' at line x". However, placing a colon like this myVar = myVar + 1 : // increase myVar apparently solves that issue..

My question is if that is a common compiler error, and also why it suddenly decide to appear now after nearly 10k lines of code when it never did previously?

IS that a game, a program, or 3 year old drawing.

because '/' can also be used for carrying out divisions.

Edit: better off using `

I think they only put in '//' later on because they wanted to be more like C++. It's a bit of an oversight really.

rem -- A compiler recognizes this as comment.
` -- A compiler recognizes this as comment.
' -- IDE converts this into REM.
// -- IDE converts this into REM.

` --- This does not have a mistake.

So it is a common error, maybe depending on the IDE.
And it only appear now because I was lucky it didn't before, if I understand you correctly.

I've only ever used ` character in many IDEs, I suggest you use the same for inline comments.
