The button command is how you retrieve bitten input. Every time you press a butten the BT value changes. To the value in an if statement use #(button name)
spset 0,500
X=40:y=60
@loop
Bt = button (0)
If BT==#up then y=y-1
If BT==#down then y=y+1
If BT==#left then x=x-1
If BT==#right then x=x+1
Spofs 0,x,y
Vsinc 1
Goto @loop
If you want to learn the basics of programming, then go for it! But remember, you only get out of it what you put I to it. So if you have even a small amount of passion, then I would recommend it.
