hey this is my first game...tell me what you think

Not bad at all for a first try. Look around a bit and look up 'setscreen ("offscreenonly")' and such commands - will smooth out your animation.
Also, your use of procedures needs a bit of work - you've got a good start, but you need to compartmentalize your proggie a bit more. Try this: write your entire programme in procedures, and write it such that every proc is no more than, say, 15 lines long. If you find that there is something being done within the procedure that could be generalized instead of being hardcoded - make a proc/function of it!

How would i make another level for it?Im not sure how to clear the screen and then have another maze there?Also how would i put a time limit on it and have it show how much time you have left?

Make a variable called levels and wrap your drawfillbox for each level around if statements. So if level=1 then draw the maze for level one, if level=2 draw the other maze, etc.

As for time, good use of the Time.Elapsed function will help you.

oh wow, what is that?

it's a bird!

it's two boxes moving at the same time!! wow

code:

for i : 1 .. maxy     Draw.FillBox (100, i, 105, i + 5, blue)     Draw.FillBox (150, maxy - i, 155, maxy - i + 5, red)     delay (10)     cls end for

Just move one, then the other. Don't wait for user input, use Input.KeyDown()
