i'm trying to make my displayed text stsnd still and when i press button a then i go to the next loop

Once in the loop you're not checking the current state of the button, only the state you saved in the variable. Change the code to have it check the current state inside the loop.

how?i don't get it

Also, get rid of that END statement that's just above the WEND. The END statement will force the program to exit before the WEND sets the instruction pointer back up to the WHILE statement.

how do i change it to check the state?

Checking BUTTON checks the current state. Checking B checks the state it was at, at the moment you set B=BUTTON. Have a look at this screenshot. It's a simple way to wait until button A is pressed. Notice we first wait until no buttons are pressed. This prevents a previous continued press of A from making this code flow through without waiting for a new press of A.

i used the second one for waiting until 'a' button is pressed.what it does is quickly displays the text but it also quickly changes to the next display. it doesn't make the text stand still

Try using both. Wait for button not being pressed, then wait for button to be pressed.

it didn't work

Can you upload your program and provide the key so I can have a look?

i finished the game.it's rock paper and scissors. i added the wait command instead for it. i'll get it to show you were it happened

it's the highlighted game. it starts from line 116 to the last line.that's where i wanted to hold the text until i press the a button.instead of wait

Ok. I'm not entirely sure how you wanted it to work, but I've altered two button-checking areas and it seems to work ok for me. It's the program "RPS" in the screenshot. p.s. I renamed your @labels so I could better understand the branching.

I noticed the rock/paper/scissors selection was a bit erratic, so made these changes.

Here's the code that waits for the player to press the A button before moving onto the next round.

i did this with your code and it seems to work ok. i have to see if it goes wrong again when you play it over and over
