First off, here's my code:
In The code, you'll see me writing [] and (). These correspond to the filled square character and the empty square character.
Code: [Select]
{7,21}->Dim Mat C
Fill(0, Mat C)
1->X
RanInt#(3,6)->Y
0->A
0->B
0->K
While X<22
Y+RanInt#(-1,1)->Y
If Y>7
Then 7->Y
IfEnd
If Y<2
Then 2->Y
IfEnd
Locate X,Y,"()"
1->Mat C[Y,X]
For Y+1->I to 7 Step 1
Locate X,I,"[]"
2->Mat C[Y,X]
Next
X+1->X
WhileEnd
Locate 1,2,"I"
9->Mat C[2,1]
1->X
2->Y
While K!=47
Locate 1,1,"()"
Locate 2,1,A
Locate 6,1,B
Locate 5,1,"[]"
If Mat C[Y+1,X]=0
Then Locate X,Y," "
0->Mat C[Y,X]
Y+1->Y
9->Mat C[Y,X]
Locate X,Y,"I"
IfEnd
Getkey->K
If K=38 And X>1 And Mat C[Y,X+1]=0
Then 0->Mat C[Y,X+1]
Locate X,Y," "
X+1->X
9->Mat C[Y,X]
Locate X,Y,"I"
IfEnd
If K=27 And X<27 And Mat C[Y,X-1]=0
Then 0->Mat C[Y,X-1]
Locate X,Y," "
X-1->X
9->Mat C[Y,X]
Locate X,Y,"I"
IfEnd
WhileEnd

I hand-typed this code while looking at my calc screen so if you see any weird typing mistakes just ignore them :P

This is a world generation program that I will be using for my secret project (even though it's not so secret, because you now see my source code :P)

I'm getting ARGUMENT ERROR at the line that says:
Code: [Select]
If K=27 And X<27 And Mat C[Y,X-1]=0
What is going on here? Everything should be OK...

Also, everything else works fine, the world generator and the player falling mechanism.

I put some tabs in your code so it's easier to read, and I noticed that X-1 is not a valid matrix value at that point in the code. Before that you assigned 1 to X but didn't change it afterwards. So this IF-statement is trying to check whether Mat C[Y,0]=0, but Mat C[Y,0] is not a valid Matrix element. I can't tell you how to prevent this since I don't know what you want to count the 'borders' of the screen (since that's what I assume you have there) as, but the rest of your code looks fairly advanced so you should be able to figure out how to prevent X from being 1 at that point in the code.

EDIT: I also noticed that this part:
Code: [Select]
  For Y+1->I to 7 Step 1
      Locate X,I,"[]"
      2->Mat C[Y,X]
   Next
Has a mistake; Shouldn't it be
Code: [Select]
     2->Mat C[I,X]instead of
Code: [Select]
     2->Mat C[Y,X]
EDIT2: Also, in the two IF-statements for horizontal movement you assign 0 to the matrix element you just checked to be 0 (Y,X+1 and Y,X-1, specifically). Looking at the IF-statement for the falling you probably meant that to be Y,X for both of them, otherwise the "I" won't delete properly.

Also, I just realized that this program is the MCLite thingy you have already posted so presumably you have already fixed those problems and I am just wasting my time explaining stuff you already figured out.

Lol yeah, I already fixed these problems. Thanks anyway :D
