I'm in the process of making a new Yahtzee program.
At the moment, i'm working on a part of my program that will ask the user what play they want to make. They can choose from three colums of 13 squares each. (this is the French version of the game)

the only problem is that when the program is running the part where it asks the user what they what to do, it slows down.
I'm using tons of if-then loops within each other....i'm guessing that's the problem but I don't know how to fix it. I think I might just make subprograms...even though I hate doing it. Bleagh..

That's called a memory leak, and it's caused by Goto'ing out of an If..Then..End or If..Then..Else..End construction. Fix your code so that Goto's aren't inside Then/End blocks.

Perfect. Thank you. I'll try to keep this topic updated with what i'm up to on the game...

Kerm, you ought to make sourcecoder detect memory leak.

Update on Yahtzee:
1. Fixed memory leak
2. Finished conversion of play selection into matrix coordinates for scoring
3. Finished scoring program. All scoring based on rules from Bourbon-Lancy, France
4. User can now "hold" on dice unlike the version of Yahtzee in the link below(user must roll 3 times and can't make play until 3rd roll)

Still to come:
1. Update and disp score after making a play
2. Menu: Includes help, return to game, save*, load*, credits, quit
*save and load are not priorities at the moment. I will only add them when i'm done with the rest.
3. Another Yahzee program with general French rules (instead of >27 there is 4 of a kind and instead of <11 there is <8 )


[EDIT]
1. Score displayer finished. only displays score if you made that play.
4. Put all subprograms to work in main program when needed be.

That's an excellent idea; as soon as I get some of this schoolwork out of the way, I'll definitely do that.

Update:
1. Done with most of the sub programs(all but menu)
2. Putting them all together...running into problems
3. I'm trying to fix all the problems now..but it's taking forever...hopefully i'll be done tonight.

[EDIT]
4. Bug fixing done. Yaay now all i need to do is make the menu.
