|}Lots of people ask questions like "I got this error when I ran my AGI game, and I don't know how to get around it.". This document's aim is to list all the known errors that you can generate through the AGI interpreter and possible workarounds.

<blockquote>
There are basically two different types of errors:

* Logic errors - These are caused by sending incorrect parameters to a logic command. Error messages are required to be printed by additional logic code.
* Interpreter errors - Files missing, stack overflow, out of memory, etc - these are errors that can pop up any time. You can't use logic code to generate an error message so the interpreter takes over and does it itself.
</blockquote>

Both types of errors aren't recoverable and the game will have to exit shortly after displaying the error. The reason for this is because it's got a quick hack to run logic.0 again but it's not expecting to return from logic.0, just exit.

<blockquote>
[[NAGI]], based very heavily on the original Sierra interpreter, shares a lot of the same errors. NAGI has it's own bunch of helpful warnings which are documented in it's own documentation. If there's demand, I'll document the errors/warnings of [[AGIL]], NAGI and [[Sarien]] as well.

The tutorial will go through all the known available errors, suggest ways of getting around the majority of them and finally will have a list of helpful debugging techniques. The debugging techniques will be essential whenever you encounter a strange bug, but you are unsure of the whereabouts.
