I've seen how to declare Global variables. Can I do the same with local or do I need to use a different keyword?

Variables should be local by default, no need to explicitly declare them as such. (However, it seems to be bugged at the minute)

Hi, The local keyword is not used in AppGameKit, and is only implied when you are inside a function. All variables outside of a function are treated as global (whether or not you use the GLOBAL keyword).

So any variable I declare inside my main.agc is automatically Global and if I declare one inside a function it is treated as local?

Yes, you got it.

Lee,
Sorry to say it but this doesn't work. You have to declare it as Global otherwise it crashes the program when you try to make function calls.
Just have to keep that in mind.
Thanks.

Lee - it seems like the auto-assigned ID numbers for resources are NOT global when created.

For instance

mySprite = CreateSprite(myImage)

generates a sprite ID that is not global, and crashes the program when called in a function.

Even if they are global without declare its a good habit of just declaring every variable you use! I know local does not need to be declare and you actully cannot declare them but what i do is i rem them in the functions. rem local temp as integer. Just to have a reminder for myself which variables i'm already using.

The only way I could set and use global variables properly, like a sprite ID is actually use the Global keyword.

When I do not use it, AppGameKit thinks it is two different variables.

Cheers
