| AHH!!!! I was messing around with flood fill for MX68k (minesweeper) and if I have a 9x9 field with 1 mine it'll run out of memory! So I was wondering, if there was a easy way to give memory back while running somewhere in the range of 70 subprograms. |

| There's a good chance if you're running out of memory you're doing something wrong. |

| *glances at location of topic* I would venture the guess of TI-89 Basic. |

Well. no. I'm not.  Here's what's happening (with how I do floodfill)
You select a spot to uncover, it then launches the floodfill program
The program uncovers the spot, then starts on the 9 spots around it (if it's blank)
When it does that, it calls itself, so the process starts over again
I can get up to ~70 spaces uncovered before getting a memory error |

Declaring a and b as Local is suspicious. I don't know if that's the problem, but I'm willing to bet it's a problem. They're your parameters, so they're already local.
I'd replace the expr() with RplcPic #("m"&string(int(mmap[a,b]))), 8*a-8, 8*b-8 since it gets tokenized better that way and looks better as well (might be faster).
I can't open the main program for some reason, but unless t is a global variable, it doesn't get changed.
If you still have problems with memory, you could try using a list instead of recursion.

Using a list:
Code:
{a}->alist
{b}->blist
While dim(alist)>0
alist[1]->a
blist[1]->b
mid(alist,2)->alist
mid(blist,2)->blist
/* uncover (a,b) */
If /* (a,b) was blank */ Then
For i, when(a=1,a,a-1), when(a=y,a,a+1)
For j, when(b=1,b,b-1), when(b=x,b,b+1)
If /* (i,j) not in alist and blist */ Then
/* add it */
EndIf
EndFor
EndFor
EndIf
EndWhile
It's more complicated this way, but avoids recursion, you might even be able to put this directly into your main program.
