.............................................A picture that J.P was gonna help me with.

oh so if you put x,y or something like that (with a space in-between) it sets the numbers that come after that, because locate was in the def and cant be used like that or something.. idk. anyways short vers: its DEF (name, which is L)L X,Y the X,Y makes it use the two numbers or things after that for a specified thing which is the next thing: LOCATE X,Y this means that when you put it in it

Hey that's a nice tutorial! Kudos to J.P

will be L,X,Y or L,2,5 (any number) but putting the X,Y after DEF L makes it read the two numbers after it basically. do you understand?

thanks! @Simeon (on computer and cant do cool symbol btw)

Yeah, I think I understand now. It was surprisingly simple

oh and thank you btw for that post. it (probably) will really help me with a problem i have..

Well you already made like three tutorials for me, so it's the least I can do in return.

haha lol ok.

So I have a question about DEF. I would test it on my 3ds, but I'm a lazy guy.(hope somebody can agree with me on that) So you said that DEF can be used kind of like goto, and was just trying to figure it out:Example without DEF @loop Blah blah Bla blah blah If blah ==blah then goto @blah Goto @loop So this is what I was thinking it would be like for DEF: DEF Loop Blah blah vvv

vvv blah If blah == blah then BLAH DEF LOOP

Oh wait, I think it already has that in the tut. nm

lol and always put end (END) at the end of a DEF.

So in the picture it shows the DEF only having the first letters of SPHOME, how does it know what the DEF is?

its DEF (custom name) then what you want it to do END so whenever you write SPH it will do whatever is in the DEF statement, so it knows by what you put inside it. you can name it ANYTHING you could name it vmfvdhfgnflghldrfgfmldfhgfh and it would still work (as long as you still put the same letters when calling it) understand?

yes

so next ill be making a For loop tutorial, do you know how to use for loops?

Yeah, I can use goto, repeat , while, and kind of for to loops

Is this a beginer tutorial? Maybe I could help making it 'fun' enough to be understood even a toddler. ((Not really but I could try.))

Not really. DEF is more intermediate-expert code(closer to intermediate). So if you're just starting smile basic, it's probably best to learn other stuff first
