Now I have a bunch of loaded music into my code. When I hit "Y" for "Yes I want to play again" it tells me the files already exists and shuts down the gamae. I think that's because they have been loaded a second time correct? How can I fix this problem? I have

cls 0 : backdrop on

(a lot of loaded music files)

I cant load these files anywhere else in the code without the program saying they dont exist. When I run the program once it's just fine until I restart it without shutting down. Does anyone know why?

Instead of loading music do something like this:


where 1 is number of music slot you loading into and foo.mp3 is your filename. That will ensure that music won't be loaded second time and thus you won't see this error.

Also in order to free memory possessed by your music files loaded, at the end of the program (place where you exiting game) do following line:

for every of your music slots where again 1 is number of your music slot, otherwise you may face such "interesting" problems, like memory leaks.

That's not exactly what I call code...

try this...



I put this together really quickly, it can be cleaned up in many ways, hope this helps...

EDIT

Woops, a little cleanup haha

Oh yeah, just type either 1 or 65535 and press backspace to retype as you go...

That doesnt seem to work my friend. You see when you start the game, the music loads right? So when I want to play it again the music also wants to load again but it already exists. I dont have this problem with the image files, just music. Is there a way to make it skip over the loading again?

You generally don't want to reload media that's already loaded in. Just a note
