What is "New Tile()"? If that's meant to be a function or UDT the space is not allowed.

QB64 doesn't have "new" operator, it doesn't support object-oriented programming. Yet.

As mentioned "new" is an operator for object oriented programming languages such as C++, PHP, Javascript etc. which is not possible in QB64(PE), however REDIM can do the job, but "Tile" have to be a user defined TYPE instead of a function.

Code: (Select All)
Type Tile
    Symbol As String * 1 'use higher numbers if you need more chars
End Type
ReDim Goals(6) As Tile

Goals(1).Symbol = "o"
Goals(2).Symbol = "x"
Goals(3).Symbol = "*"

etc.
