First have your cls at the begining of your main code and your View.Update out of the if loop and at the bottom.
Then have your Draw.Pic's right after the cls.
And in your keying spots have them changing the varaible only, remove the cls in them

alright well what you said and im still having an issue  :?

i did this like you said 



loop
cls
    y2 := y2 - 1
    drawfillbox (0, 0, 900, 605, black)
    Input.KeyDown (chars)
    if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then
        xcounter := xcounter + 1
        Draw.FillBox (xcounter, y, xcounter + xx, yy, yellow)
    elsif chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then
        xcounter := xcounter - 1
        Draw.FillBox (xcounter, y, xcounter + xx, yy, yellow)
    end if
    drawfilloval (x2,y2,10,10,black)
    delay (10)
    drawfilloval (x2, y2, 10, 10, yellow)
    if x2 > x and x2 < xx and y2 = y then 

    end if
end loop
    View.Update

Will your program ever reach the View.Update line, which you put outside of the loop?

RE:stuck on game

-----------------------------------

You either need to put View.Update inside the loop or exit the loop with something like:

exit when variable = 10

so that your program can get to the View.Update screen.

If however, you cannot exit your loop, you can put this loop and the View.Update in another loop so that when you exit, it will automatically startup again but it will have done View.Update.

lol i meant this

loop
    cls % RIGHT HERE
    y2 := y2 - 1
    drawfillbox (0, 0, 900, 605, black)
    Input.KeyDown (chars)
    if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then
        xcounter := xcounter + 1
        Draw.FillBox (xcounter, y, xcounter + xx, yy, yellow)
    elsif chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then
        xcounter := xcounter - 1
        Draw.FillBox (xcounter, y, xcounter + xx, yy, yellow)
    end if
    drawfilloval (x2,y2,10,10,black)
    delay (10)
    drawfilloval (x2, y2, 10, 10, yellow)
    View.Update % AND RIGHT HERE
end loop

Re: stuck on game

-----------------------------------

alright thanks , also i was wondering how to make the ball disapear when it hits the a certain Y , i understand that every difficulty has a value for y, but how would i make it disapear for lets say easy



y := maxy div 2 - 140
yy := maxy div 2 - 190
var xx:int

xcounter := maxx div 2 - 25
if choice = "easy" then
    xx := 70
    y := 30
    yy := 0

I would have if you hit a target with a certain bullet then move specific bullet offscreen, reset target, score incriment, etc.

RE:stuck on game

-----------------------------------

yea someone also suggested the thing, but any clue on how i could do it? if you don't want to give me the script, any chance you can link me to a tut and then i can  try to figure it out myself.

Re: stuck on game

-----------------------------------

I believe you can figure this one on your own.
 - Moving bullet offscreen is easy, just set the xbullet value to a negative number. Call it back when you fire
 - Reseting target is also not a problem. I suggest a random x position and an offscreen y position
 - Score incriment is very simple (score := score + 1)

I'm not being rude, I'm just giving you a general direction. And isn't discovery better when you do it yourself???

Good Luck...
