Not a bad first attempt.  A few pointers:

1)
F2

2)
Look up the Tutorials on types and records, it will save you having to declare so many needless variables.

3)
A little glitch (feature?):  The first jump is always about twice as high as all subsequent jumps.

4)
Add some restrictions so that the object cannot leave the screen (something like 'if obj.pX < maxx then...'

+ bits

yea that first jump thing really bewilders me...ill look into it. 
As for the Mario game, it looks good so far...the jumping looks good, may i see the code for it? 

but anyways, thanks for the tips (and the bits), ill go work on it some more.
