Think of a switch, it is either on or off, and your picture is either one or the other.
If you didnt know before, boolean type variables have true or false.
You can use if and then statments and the boolean type to determine which pic to display.
Eg.
if (moved left) then
left := true
elsif (moved right) then
left :=false
end if

if left then
change to left pic
else
change to right pic
end if

If you plainly put change pic without a "switch"(the boolean variable changes) in the "if user pressed key" statement then the user have to hold the key in order for it stay in the changed form.

Recently, another person asked for the same advice. Ill tell you the same thing I told her.

if chicken coordinates = car coordinates then
quit
end if

Thanks a lot for the help! I got it to work.

I have my opening title screen and then once you click it should go the instructions screen. It doesn't work. Any suggestions?

code:

%Opening Scene Pic.Draw (opener, 1, 1, picCopy) loop     buttonwait ("down", xm, ym, buttonnumber, buttonup) %Clicking to go to Instructions     if xm > 1 and xm < 800 and ym > 1 and ym < 400 then         exit     end if end loop Pic.Draw (instructions, 1, 1, picCopy) loop     buttonwait ("down", xm, ym, buttonnumber, buttonup) %Clicking to go to Instructions     if xm > 1 and xm < 800 and ym > 1 and ym < 400 then         exit     end if end loop

thats what have and the instructions dont show up all it does is make it so i have to click twice.

i fixed the instructions. How can i get the cars to stop moving. ie When you win or lose, i want the cars to be gone off the screen how could i go about doing this?

If you had all of them in a loop then exit the loop and do a end game animation when you either increase or decrease their x until they are out of screen, using loop and if and thens.
e.g.

code:

.... exits main loop here... loop car1X+=1 car2X+=2 exit when (car1X > maxx or car1X < 0) and  (car2X > maxx or car2X < 0) end loop
