Overview
FlipEm is a game where you try to get all the squares on the board to have an X in them. When a square is flipped, it gets an X if it was empty, or clears out the X if there was already one there. When you click a square, it and the four around it in a + shape get flipped. Squares off the edge of the board are ignored.

Issues
Random crash when you least expect it. I am unable to recreate it, but I have seen it happen several times. If you can look at the code and tell me what's wrong I'll give you credit. I think it has to do with the pointer but I don't know enough to be sure or know how to fix it.
It's the old type of .elf, you will need to convert it or compile from source. My converter I'll upload a new .dol someday.
Here's a thought on your crash: You are using the ir data without checking ir0.valid. I can't remember if I've seen this myself or not, but it seems possible that the ir data is outside the range you are expecting if the data isn't valid. See How to use the Wiimote for an example. Alternatively (or maybe Also) you can check that the values you are passing to Flip/Draw/etc are within the range you expect. I hope this helps. --PaceMaker 18:56, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Another thought on the crash: I have had one of my games randomly crash too, and I found that I was leaking memory. Check that you free anything that you allocate, because you will leak memory otherwise. (It happened a lot faster for me, as I was working on a bullet hell game, and forgot to free the bullets XD) --SquidMan 03:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
- I thought that was a problem too. thats why i made board always be maxsize, and only use the part of it that the player wants. it's not my fault, i come from python where guido and co. manage my memory.yossi 04:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
