The lines bolded above are wrong, and detailed below.



if (&life != &lifehold) &poisoned = 1;



You can't mess with variables on the same line as an if statement.  You have to do this instead:



if (&life != &lifehold) {

&poisened = 1;

}



&halfi = &i / 2;



Dink doesn't support cool math... at all.  So you have to do this instead:



&halfi = $i;

$halfi / 2;



&halfi *= 2;



When using / and *, you don't use the = sign.  So do this instead to double &halfi:



&halfi * 2;
