I need help with the basics like how to make a 1 level platformer or pong

those aren't the basics

ok i just need to learn the basics can you help?

sure use PRINT "with a string encased in quotation marks like this to display the stuff in here on the screen"

???

use PRINT "string in quotes" to display that string in quotes on the screen.

ok brb

the string, or phrase with letters, has to be encased in quotes.

bye

it didnt work

*Facepalm* Instead of using PRINT, do ? ? is an alias for PRINT but it's a lot shorter. Eg: If I wanted to show Hello! on the screen, I woyld do ?"Hello!". Also, playform mechanics are relatively easy as long as you have experience and know what you're doing. You will want to set up a sprite, backgrounds, maps, etc.

Did you use the quotation marks that are already two? Like, not hitting the ' button twice, but the " button once.

ok it worked i made a little death of luigi thing lol what next?

MSWS, PRINT makes more sense than ? for beginners.

Now you should learn how to use sprites. Type SPSET on an empty line and press the blue help button in the upper right. Read the little reference and play around with it. The management number is a specific number used to work with that one sprite. The definition number is a number used to tell what the sprite looks like. Do the same thing with SPOFS (help button, empty line). SPOFS moves sprite.

Quote, you forgot the management num in SPOFS
