also read up on processes and how to "fork" them this will help in animating ur enemy person without affecting the rest of the program.

grr....forking should kept down to a minimum. To animate, use View.Update with well structured code, and it would be alot simpler. Forking is not all that great and accurate for animations or stuff that needs calculation. Trust me, using fork will have your little animated characters out of sync.

Background stuff. Playing Music. AI that plots your destruction during your turn. Saving to file. hardware polling.

I agree with the music, that's the only easy way(if not the only way) turing has if you want to play some sound. the enemy AI doesn't need fork, all you need is have it does it's calculation during your turn and his turn. So in the procedure that allows the user to input, have it call the AI procedure too. Saving to file? I don't know why fork is used for that. And hardware polling? no idea what that is.

loop in a loop is easy..lol.
code:

loop
%Random variable settings or something
loop
%Main Program
exit when condition_fufilled=true
end loop
end loop

And as for animations, use for statements and delays.
code:

for i:1..length_of_picture_frames
if i=1 then
Pic.Draw(fighter1,x,y,picMerge)
end if
delay(100)
end for
