I made this game a while ago but forgot to ever upload it. Here it is and I hope you enjoy!

How to Play:

pick up the ball by pressing the shoot button with your hand underneath it
dribble the ball (by pressing down) to regain energy
use energy to jump, run, and shoot
hold run or jump buttons to perform each ability more strongly
don't forget to choose a course!

Help with recursive functions and memory

Thu, 02 Jul 2020 22:00:40 UTC

Hello all!

I have been trying to make a minesweeper clone in order to practice grid based games. Everything was going well, until I tried to make the mechanic where adjacent 0 tiles are revealed. I made a recursive function, but when set to all eight directions, it would run out of memory almost instantly. Any tips on how to either optimize the function or replace it? Any help would be awesome, I'm not the best programmer, thanks!

Recursive function:

function tile_reveal(x,y)
	if y > 0
	and y <= #board.board
	and x > 0
	and x <= #board.board[1] then
		if board.overlay[y][x] == 11 then
			if board.board[y][x] != 9 then
				for d=1,#dirs do
					if y+dirs[d][2] > 0
					and y+dirs[d][2] <= #board.board
					and x+dirs[d][1] > 0
					and x+dirs[d][1] <= #board.board[1]
					and board.overlay[y+dirs[d][2]][x+dirs[d][1]] == 11 then
						board:change_overlay(x+dirs[d][1],y+dirs[d][2],0)
					end
				end
			end
			board:change_overlay(x,y,0)
		end
	end
end
