I'm fairly new to lite-c and starting to dive right into developing games. I'm starting out by building all the user interfaces first. But I've run into a problem it seems, I want more than one panel to be visible at any given time ... but every time I try to test the engine crashes ... why is this. I have two basic panels as follows ...

PANEL* info_pan =
{
pos_x = 0; pos_y = 560;
bmap = black_map;
layer = 1;
flags = VISIBLE;
}

PANEL* map =
{
pos_x = 101; pos_y = 101;
bmap = map;
layer = 2;
flags = VISIBLE;
}

when I run the code we crash ... if I comment out any one of the visible flags in either PANEL the game runs and that panel is showing ...

What am I doing wrong??

Hi,

everything looks ok except the statement in the panel definition of map:

bmap = map;

Because you are assigning a bitmap pointer that has the same name as the panel.

Change this as first try.

HeelX ... thanks a bunch, works just fine now. I'm migrating over from java so its common to have variables with the same name over there ... I'll keep an eye out for that ...

Again thanks.
