ok, im making this game where you are a bus driver and your goal is to runover as many people as possible in the time alloted. ok your at the bottem and you move the bus left and right while the people come down from the top to give the impression that the bus is moving. how would you make the people move down the screen without using a continous loop. also how would you make the timer without a loop. pleez reply!! its urgent!!

Ummm. To do continuous movement, you would need a loop of one type or another.

:Lbl 21
:y+1->y
:<entire getkey loop>
:goto 21

Or you could try

While 1
Getkey->A
If A
Then
<Action>
Else
<Action>
End
End

That's the faster equivalent to a Lbl Goto loop (at least I think it's faster).

47->A
31->B
Repeat K=45 //keep playing until player presses clear key
getKey->K //store which key is used in K
//if player presses a key, erase player so he doesn't leave a trail on the screen:
If Ans:Text(B,A," " //6 spaces
A+(K=26)-(K=24->A //move player horizontally
B+(K=34)-(K=25->B //move player vertically
Text(B,A,"X //draw player
End
