My RPG game won't display stats.

[JB]

Here is my Rpg game called Cutthroat. It's not finished yet, and at the end of the code, it is supposed to display the stats of your character, and it does, but, the stats are flashing by on the screen real fast so you can't read them, and I can't figure out how to get it stop. Here is my code.

Turing:

Mod Edit: Remember to use syntax tags! Thanks

Turing automatically puts each new 'put' statement on a new line. Since you are looping the same put statements over and over again, they will continue to move down the screen. To fix this, either use a cls to clear the screen each time, or use Text.Locate to put the text where you want it.

Why do you need the loops? All they're doing is doing the same thing over and over again even though it only has to be done once.

Thanks that code helped me out alot. Also thanks for the info on the number of loops that I had in my game. I thought that they would help the problem that I had with the game. Not cause it or make it worse.
