I need more stack space

bazee · 2001-07-20T12:32:55

I am using a recursive function for a path finding algorithm in my game. When I run out of stack space, the function gives up its work whether it has found the solution or not. The current algorithm I am using works really well, but only over the short distance of 10 units, since beyond that I run out of stack - i.e. the stack seems to only be able to store around 10 function calls! I want to increase this, but how? I am programming in Visual Basic 6. Thanks in advance for any help!

I''m using quadtrees right now in VB to render my pacman game it''s working well enough for me :-). I know VB is slow but at the moment I''m just trying to understand concepts such as quadtrees, pathfinding algos etc. rather than make the fastest game on earth.
