You aren't setting it's loc when you create it, so it shoots an error about bad loc.

Also, what you would want to be using is objects for this, since you can't delete and create turfs like you are trying to do at runtime.

Look up the locate() function in F1/the reference.

Though objects might work better in this situation, it is untrue that turfs cannot be created like this at runtime. It's perfectly valid to instantiate turfs at runtime using the new keyword.

But turfs can't be deleted at runtime, can they ?

In response to Andre-g1 (#7)
Of course they can, they just can't be moved. Deleting a turf will either result in a black square or the default turf being visible if you have one set.
