Initializing variables - Michael - 03-25-2021
Is there a restriction on where I can introduce a variable? I tried setting a variable inside (apply), but got the message "Could not match string 'MovesLeft'. Misspelt define or item?". Do I have to set the variable somewhere else first?

Hi,
No restriction no. The error you got is the compiler does not find the String used to name the variable? Probably because you are using (set Var ...) with a name, but never (var ...) with the same name.
Can you send us a .lud example to check.

Hm. It seems related to the fact that I was setting two named variables inside (apply). I removed the string from the first one, and then it worked fine. I'll send a .lud shortly.
Here is the .lud. It compiles if I simply remove "MovesLeft" from the first variable in (apply).
