What am i doing wrong??? why the syntax error on line 7??? im desesperate, im failing just in the first five minutes of coding

Do DEC Y instead of Y - 1. Do INC Y instead of Y + 1. The BUTTON command is also being used wrong. The parameter that goes in BUTTON(<this parameter>) is not telling the button for which it should respond. It should tell what type of press to respond to. IF BUTTON(2) AND #A THEN #A is a constant that represents the button A. Likewise, #LEFT is the left dpad, #B is the B button, etc.

Put the cursor on BUTTON and then press the Help button in the top-right. It has a question mark on it and is blue.

Uh, you need an infinite loop to detect a button press, and as Chicken said Button(2) doesnt specify a button.

This should get you started.

thanks very much everyone. Since im new to this, i tend to loose my patience :D

You seem to grasp the concepts very quickly. Good job!
