Let's take a simpler example.
for k = 1:10
if k == 345345
z = 1;
end
end
y = sin(z);
Now assuming z was not defined BEFORE that FOR loop starts, will the line of
code that defines it EVER be executed during that FOR loop's execution? Will
k EVER take on the value 345345? Since we're counting from 1 to 10 in
increments of 1, it better not! Therefore the variable z will NOT be defined
during the FOR loop's execution and when the "y = sin(z);" line executes
MATLAB will error.
To solve this, you need to determine what should happen if the conditions
that cause the line that defines start are never satisfied. To detect this,
put this line immediately before your FOR loop in your code:
start = NaN;
Immediately before the line "do_game=cri{start};" write:
if isnan(start)
% HANDLE NONSTART CASE
end
and add code inside that IF statement.
