make a program that has an oval that is controlled through keyboard and the getch() function. Then make it so that when the user hits space, a second oval is created that moves vertically from the position of the first oval. It should reset once the 2nd oval is no longer visable so the user can hit space again (loop) enjoy  |

child's play. var intposx : int var intposy : int var intx : int var inty : int var chars : array char of boolean intposx := 150 intposy := 50 View.Set("offscreenonly") loop delay(50) cls Input.KeyDown (chars) if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then if intposx < maxx - 10 then intposx += 10 end if elsif chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then if intposx > 10 then intposx -= 10 end if elsif chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then if intposy < maxy - 10 then intposy += 10 end if elsif chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then if intposy > 10 then intposy -= 10 end if elsif chars (' ') then intx := intposx inty := intposy loop cls inty += 10 Draw.FillOval (intx - 18, inty - 18, 6, 6, 12) Draw.FillOval (intposx - 15, intposy - 10, 30, 20, 7) Input.KeyDown (chars) if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then if intposx < maxx - 10 then intposx += 10 end if elsif chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then if intposx > 10 then intposx -= 10 end if elsif chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then if intposy < maxy - 10 then intposy += 10 end if elsif chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then if intposy > 10 then intposy -= 10 end if end if exit when inty >= maxy delay(50) View.Update end loop end if Draw.FillOval (intposx - 15, intposy - 10, 30, 20, 7) View.Update end loop |

make sure to read azndragon's tutorial  A lot of useful info 
Better yet make the plotline about programming in some way or the other. This way we can all enjoy it and maybe even rewrite it into a multiplayer C++ if things go well :8 |

You could always make the plotline into a reboot type game, that's the only way I could think of how to make the plotline about programming. |

the real way of actually putting sprites on your screen would be to use picMerge picture mode. as for RPG, it COULD be about a hacker. Walk around, hack computers . Or fix them and earn money. You can compleat quests to get new programs to use or something 
You can fight against viruses and bugs... there's a lot of things you can make up |

not the same way as you did in v3. just use regular pictures. If you need transparent background, use picMerge instead of picCopy mod |
