Greetings to all...thanx to all who have helped...

Question(s):

Is there a max on the number of lines of code that can go into a program (including empty(space) and REM lines)...??

I have ran into a problem where the copy operation is unable to perform...

My program is over 1k lines...

Is it possible that I'm copying from pg2 to pg1 of the editor...possible editor buffer to full??

Is it mem problems...my system mem buffer to full??

***appendum***

I have done the copy operation...one chunk at a time...
(25 lines of 75 at a time)

Problem cleared...and was able to copy large chunks...
(75 of 75 lines)...

Has anyone else experienced this phenom...??

I'm programming on a laptop...Toshiba Satellite...yr 2000 model...(might be the problem??)

I'm trying to move to much with the copy operation...??

I don't understand what may have caused the problem...

*If I hit the problem again...I'll move smaller chunks...
but would like to know if this is common to all...or is specific to the environment I'm working with...??*

Also...how many others are running DB on a laptop...
and as well...if it is advisable to do so...??

Last Question (Hurrah!)...after I did the small chunk copy/paste...I was able to C/P a larger chunk...it seemed as if DB (opened-created-allowed?) another *page?*...to allow a larger C/P operation(more lines of code)...does this sound correct...??

No rush on response...just post whenever possible...
(I know you pros are programming too... )

take care all!
Mr. Duck...

- useless (my game) information prattle after this -

Note: The program is an RPG...both gender roles(26/2)total...web interactive after 1st 10 scenarios played(levels)...no reload of save file after character death (on character death last saved is deleted from game and system)...1 save file before, during, and after play (save file is overwritten on each save command)...

Happy progging...
DarkBASIC is some really awesome software...glad I found it on that 'Ask Jeeves' (*search was for* = 3D Game Creator Software for Download)site...
I purchased their 'Mega-Pak' product offer...have never regretted it for an instant...

I have a program which is well over 3,500 lines and that works fine.

T3DGM (whoch was made in DB) was over 7,500 (maybe 14,000 - not sure) and there are several DB games which are up to 17,000!

Something like this may be able to test DBs limit:



Then try and complie MyTest.dba

Yea I heard T3DGM was well over 10,000 lines. I dunno, it will just make your file size bigger, not sure if there is an actual limit. Im thinking its just like C++ where your filesize just gets bigger. Heck, if you have a problem, when you finish, just delete all your REMS
