do you want to move the whole thing or just the dude

Just the dude.

That you would need to refresh the screen to move the character based on it's location. Should be comparatively simple depending on your skill.

so what I would suggest is exclude the dude from the original showing, then set an x and a y variable for him. it should look like ?" " mx=2:my=3 locate mx,my:?"♀" now what you need is to set up a loop that has button(), if/then, wait/vsync, and a locate/print. it should look like @l wait 1 locate x,y:?"♀" if button(2) and 1 then y=y-1 if button(2) and 2 then y=y+1 ... locate x,y:?"♀":goto @l

Ohhh I'm terrible at this, So that would be hard.

sorry, it should be @l wait 1 locate x,y:?" " everything else is the same

How do I make the screen refresh?

I think it's CLS. I REALLY like the style of this game so far though. Don't think I've ever seen text art used like that before. Nice job! I'm looking forward to playing it!

@LOOP VSYNC 1 CLS MATH+CODE HERE PRINT THINGS HERE GOTO @LOOP

I'm also working on a game about random encounters. It's technically a survival battle game where the creator only has the battle system down and the player has to battle for as long as they can.
