The full story:

More than 20 years ago, I wrote a rpg game with a friend.
I've resurrected it and I'm playing the game to take snapshots.

The "conflict" program is written in basic with 2 kind of & routines
(games functions and I/O access with a patched RDOS).
And this program is ... a nightmare (spaghetti code).
With "conflicts", there are a lot of combinations (various monsters
reactions, user's actions, and a lot of other parameters). So it's
hard to test all the cases.

I had a crash last week:

A ":" was missing in a line 20710:
http://boutillon.free.fr/Forum/m2/m2_crash_conflict_p02.png

And I'd like to know is there are other similar bugs or bad applesoft
syntax sentences which have not been tested.
I don't think I can run every line of code when I'm playing the game.
So I'm looking for a way to have a first check.

If Antoine has a hawk's eye, the program is here (extracted with
CiderPress):

The packed version which is used by the game is here:
http://boutillon.free.fr/Forum/m2/Conflict_packed.txt

And a dsk with both:

I'm going to test Blurry's disassembler with the 2 "raw" applesoft BAS
files which are here:
http://boutillon.free.fr/Forum/m2/Conflict.BAS
http://boutillon.free.fr/Forum/m2/Conflict_packed.BAS
but as Brendan said, it's a start.
I first have to remove the static hard coded filename (/home/brobert/
Documents/Personal/a2gameserver/lib/data/games/LEMONADE#fc0801) and
look what is done when & is met.
(Thanks Brandan for your java classes.)
