This program started out as simply showing a circle wherever the mouse is. I created an array, and a function that should initialise all the elements of that array to 0. For some reason, the program won't run now. Help!

Hmm...

According to my playing with the editor and all, I was under the impression that functions belonged at the END of a program, rather than the beginning. The thinking was, at least in my mind at the time I encounted the error "Function Encountered" was that the Dark Basic tried to run from the top downward, and in finding a function it declared that point the end of the main loop.

Try moving the function definition and see if that solves your problem...

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.

yes, dbp code is procedural, meaning it starts at first line and goes thru until last line. your function, where it is is mucking it all up. put the function after the do-loop and place the function call insid ethe loop, and it should be ok

Thanks guys. My C++ background made me want to prototype, and when I didn't have to do that it seemed logical to place the function first.
