how do i use the data command? i have not used smile basic in a while

Use it to store data for later usage. It is usually used to store things such as enemy stats or entire levels. You write a data label like this... @DAT1 DATA 10,30,"SMTH" You can specify as much data as you want. You can then load this data with the RESTORE and READ command. Like this... RESTORE @DAT1 READ N1,N2,S$ Make sure to specify enough READ variables to load up all DATA constants.

thanks! im not very good at progaming yet and this will me a lot!!! i was curiose on how the data command works because it apeared many times in the example programes
