Help Please

I am making a game where i need to make characters go down the screen and I need to push a button before the character hits the bottom of the screen, I have done the characters going down the screen but have no put in any commands for buttons I need help with this please help me

This is my program it is in Turing by the way

Turing:

setscreen ("graphics") procedure Monsta     var Monsta : int := Pic.FileNew ("Monsta.bmp")     for y : 200 .. 600         Pic.Draw (Monsta, 250, (maxx - y), 0)         delay (10)         cls     end for end Monsta procedure Witch     var Witch : int := Pic.FileNew ("Witch.jpg")     for y : 200 .. 600         Pic.Draw (Witch, 250, (maxx - y), 0)         delay (10)         cls     end for end Witch procedure ghost     var ghost : int := Pic.FileNew ("ghost.jpg")     for y : 200 .. 600         Pic.Draw (ghost, 250, (maxx - y), 0)         delay (10)         cls     end for end ghost loop     locatexy (50, 75)     put "Do you want to play this Game?(y or n):" ..     var reply : string     get reply     if reply = "n" then         exit     elsif reply = "y" then         cls         locatexy (50, 75)     end if     put "Choose your difficulty(Easy, Moderate, Hard):" ..     var reply2 : string     get reply2     cls     exit when reply2 not= "yes"     var Easy : string     var Moderate : string     var Hard : string end loop loop     Monsta     Witch     ghost end loop

MODEDIT Remeber your syntax tags!!

The easiest (and safest) way to design a game is pretty simple. You've sort of got it in your code already. The basic idea is that you will have a game "tick". At every tick, you update the game, then redraw it. On each update, you look for user input, determine what each creature does, move them, attack, whatever. Drawing is simple enough, but has a wrinkle: we'll set it up so that instead of updating the screen after every draw command, you do all the draw commands, then update the screen once. This helps to cut down on flickering.

It looks like this:

Turing:

% Sample storage here. You can feel free to change this as you will. var monsterY, witchY, ghostY : int := maxy var monsterPic : int := Pic.FileNew ( "monsta.bmp" ) % do the same for witch and ghost % Set all of our draw commands to go to a "buffer". Once we've drawn an entire scene for that tick, we'll send it to the screen with View.Update(). View.Set ( "offscreenonly" ) var keys : array char of boolean  % We'll use this for input. See Input.KeyDown() in the Turing help. loop     Input.KeyDown ( keys )  % Get input from the player here     % UPDATE everything here.     monsterY -= 5     witchY -= 5     ghostY -= 5     if keys ( ' ' ) then         % Spacebar is down, do whatever spacebar is supposed to do     end if     if keys ( KEY_ESC ) then         % Escape was pressed, quit the game         exit     end if     % DRAW everything here     Draw.Cls()  % Clear the screen     Pic.Draw (monsterPic, 250, monsterY, 0)     % You can fill in the other ones     View.Update()  % Put our newly-drawn scene onto the screen. end loop put "Game Over"
