I finally fixed it, and didnt get any erros or warnings, however, whenever I run the game, I get a message saying "Tank War.exe has encountered an error and needs to close" and gets me an option to send it to microsoft and all that other stuff. How should I fix it? heres my updated code:

Learn to use your ide's debugger.

DerAnged is right. And this is the perfect time to learn.

Try starting by stepping through the code until the error occurs. The last instruction you stepped over will have generated it, though it may not have necesarily have caused it.

well, ok. Will that really help any? I think the problem is surfacing from the wierd way I have my code structured. could that be the problem? in the mean time, ill guess illl try to figure out the dev c++ debugger...

*EdiT* I debugged it, and it said "an access violation(segment vault) has araised in your program" right after the message "welcome to tank war!" appears at the very beggining of the program.

i dont know allegro, but it seems that you haven't checked if the keyboard works before you called the keyboard
from the allegro manual:

Quote: Note that on some platforms the keyboard won't work unless you have set a graphics mode, even if this function returns a success value before calling set_gfx_mode. This can happen in environments with graphic windowed modes, since Allegro usually reads the keyboard through the graphical window (which appears after the set_gfx_call). Example:
      allegro_init();      install_timer();      install_keyboard();      /* We are not 100% we can read the keyboard yet! */      if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0) != 0)         exit(1);      /* Now we are guaranteed to be able to read the keyboard. */      readkey();

pex.

I still get the same problem, even when I do that.

You should know that Game Programming All in One has ALOT of errors in the code. The thing simply does not work.

I thought I should mention im using game programming all in one second edition, which, according to several people, is much better then the first. Cany anyone help me with this problem? there has to be a solution...
