I wrote this program last night.. and it worked, but i used two different arrays (for some other reason) I realized that the other array was no good so i removed it, and all it''s underlying code. I compile (using MSVC++ 6.0) and no errors... i build exe and no problems... i execute and right after it calls showBoard() from the main method it crashes and i get this error:
Loaded ''C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.DLL'', no matching symbolic information found.
First-chance exception in checkers.exe: 0xC0000005: Access Violation.
The program ''D:\PROGRAMMING\checkers\Debug\checkers.exe'' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
than VC++ 6.0 opens up istream.cpp and points the the first line (which is the lock() function) in the function "int istream::ipfx(int need)"
can anybody help me in my time of need?
/*
==Things to fix==
1. As long as a piece has a free move he can jump to any free spot
2. Add piece jumping.
