in general i know how to use loops, but ive never used them,... and now i see the error in my ways, so if anyone has good tips, or ways to correctly use them that would be great. 1 question, do i put a different loop for everything like: @mainloop @walking @jumping @enemy @mainloop i just have no idea..

Little explanation of loops.

Continuation of explanation

ah, now i understand.. thanks, and lol i meant "i need help with loops" lol, i help with loops... great job on explaining, i will be using this for a while now... (this post) i have a lot of probs with my code to fix..

DON'T USE LABEL LOOPS! Use WHILE:WEND or REPEAT:UNTIL loops. Label loops are bad coding practices. They do not make as much sense as regular loops to the untrained eye, and do not make use of the label feature correctly. WHILE TRUE <- You can set a condition so that this loop will only run if and during when it is true. You can use CONTINUE and BREAK here, which can't be used in label loops. WEND

@PCChicken Hey, what exactly is the intended function of labels? Is it just for GOSUB(sub-routines)?

im just commenting here so i can refer back to these useful explinations.

exactly.

@Aaron I think label should only be used for data(READ-DATA-RESTORE-COPY) and to make "switch case"(If you don't know what do i mean, then search in google... the syntax is easy to understand) since smilebasic doesn't support that syntax. For everything else there are already control structures(IF-ELSE-FOR-NEXT-WHILE-WEND-REPEAT-UNTIL). Also "DEF function" replace GOSUB and is superior to it.

DEF is better than GOSUB? ok.

unless you need to use global variables.

you can RETURN numbers using DEF.

@raimondz Thanks, yeah I know what switchcase is.

@ЩMr.Mo&RK You can use global variables inside DEF unless you declare the same variable with VAR inside it.
