i've been trying to understand programming but i think i haven't gotten anywhere i need someone to walk me through what they know so i can master this better.

my dad knows basic and i kinda know ms-dos but im bad at it

well anything you can tell me will be a big help.

PRINT "hello" ↑PRINT puts stuff on the screen.

print got it

INPUT "what is your name";NAME$ PRINT NAME$ ↑INPUT asks a question and PRINT here puts the answer to the question on the screen

A=RND(1) IF A==0 THEN PRINT "0" IF A==1 THEN PRINT "1" ↑RND gets a random number from 0 to basically infinity.

SPSET 0,0,0 SPSCALE 0,4,4 SPOFS O,100,100 ↑SPSET puts a sprite on the screen hit the smile button and go into paint to see all the numbers of what each sprite is. SPSCALE is the size of a sprite SPOFS moves a sprite to a different part of the screen.

on SPOFS its 0 not O I messed up.

okey i'll start practiceing right away.
