% This program i will shoot a > at a @ sign % *Note* Y is column and X is row colorback (black) color (10) cls loop     cls     % The vars     var x, y : int     var x2, y2 : int     var single : string     % This will ask the user if he wants to play single player or not     put "Would you like to play single player"     get single     % if he says no then it will jump to 2 players and user1 will have to type     % the coordients     if single = "no" then         loop             put "Please enter the cordents for X, and Y"             put "x : X must equal anyware from 1 to 25"             get x             cls             exit when x <= 25         end loop         loop             put "Please enter the cordents for X, and Y"             put "y : Y must equal anyware from 1 to 80"             get y             cls             exit when y <= 80         end loop         % if user says yes then it will make it 1 player and while randomly         % place the @ sign     elsif single = "yes" then         x := Rand.Int (3, 24)         y := Rand.Int (3, 75)         % my testing code     elsif single = "debug" then         x := Rand.Int (3, 24)         y := Rand.Int (3, 75)         put x         put y     end if     % puts @ on the screen     locate (x, y)     put "@"     % X is the row loop         locate (1, 1)         put "Guess what cordinates the @ sign is located at"         put "x : X must equal anyware from 1 to 25"         get x2         cls         % Y is column         put "y : Y must equal anyware from 1 to 80"         locate (x, y)         put "@"         locate (2, 1)         get y2         exit when x2 <= 25 and y2 <= 80         locate (10, 35)         put "Somthing you inputted is incorrect, try again"         delay (2000)     end loop     cls % keeps @ on screen     locate (x, y)     put "@" % the shooter     for shoot : 1 .. y2         locate (x2, shoot)         delay (100)         put ">"         locate (x, y)         put "@"     end for % Hit or Miss.     if x2 = x and y2 = y then         locate (15, 35)         put "You hit the target!"     elsif x2 <= x and y2 <= x then         locate (15, 35)         put "You missed"     elsif x2 >= x and y2 >= x then         locate (15, 35)         put "You missed"     end if % ask user if he wants to play again.     var question : string     locate (1, 1)     put "Do you want to play again?"     locate (2, 1)     get question     exit when question = "no" or question = "No" end loop cls

some help please?

i think this is the problem here

code:

% the shooter     for shoot : 1 .. y2         locate (x2, shoot)         delay (100)         put ">"         locate (x, y)         put "@"     end for

i dont know what to do to get > passed @ when it needs to

Hmm... It might have something to do with compiler.

I think that in older versions, the locate is buggy and will erase the rest of the line after the text that was on it.

And since the put "@" is after put ">" it might erace the > that you already put after the @ sign.

Try getting a newer version of compiler or write your own function inctead of locate()
