as you know, the music has to be played as the game is running, so you need two things to simultaneously run at the same time. let me introduce you to something called a fork. fork is to activate a process and runs at the same time as your pogram

to initialize a process

process hello
    put "hello"
end hello

process hi
    put"hi"
end hi

fork hi
fork hello


a process is exactly like a procedure, so you can have parameters and such.

now, on to music

process PlayMusic
        Music.PlayFile ("mymusic.mp3")
end PlayMusic
fork PlayMusic

this code would play ur music once and the end it.
if you want it to loop, just put the Music.PlayFile in a loop

everytime i do the music file thing it says this
"'process's may only be declared at the program or module level"
 :evil:

you cant declare them in a procedure or a function or a loop or another process.

to see if they damaged each other, you basiclly have to do collision detection. You check to see if the person's fist lands anywhere near the other person's body.

I suppose it depends on how you draw your fighters, but you can use oval collision detection, check for line intersection, etc to see if damage is behind delt.

if it is a concaved shape, i think i have a nice algorithms for calculating that... first you find the longest possible line you can draw from each coner to a side/coner within the shape, save those data, and when you use collision detection, check the distance from that point to each coner and if any value is greater than ur saved values, then its a hit... not sure if it works tho
