So I thought - 'Hey, this will be fun'......I thought...... I can't even do a Hello World test

PRINT "HELLO WORLD" or you can just type ?"HELLO WORLD"

its easy , just print "hello"

Woah, what language are you trying to use? This is BASIC. You should look into it more.

You're thinking VisualBasic which has more bells and whistles like "PRIVATE SUB CMDHELLO", but none of that existed in the original BASIC of which SmileBasic is based on. Just the good o' fashioned PRINT "Hello world" (or ?"Hello world" like Keiren said). Type these in EDIT mode though, not the DIRECT mode in this screenshot.

In EDIT mode, also try this (as introduced in the Japanese homepage): ACLS XSCREEN 4 SPSET 2,501 WHILE TRUE TOUCH OUT J,X,Y IF J THEN SPOFS 2,X,Y WEND After you're done, press START, and try sliding around the touch screen.

Thanks guys, I understand now!
