Do you want the sprite to physically move and the level stay still?

Okay, so you should put your INPUT in a loop. WHILE INPUT "",T$ IF T$="blah" THEN GOTO @BLAH IF T$="blah" THEN GOTO @BLAH WEND This way, if it doesn't go to a label, it will just ask for the input again.

You will most likely not figure out how to program it, or lose interest in the project, before you actually exceed the technical limitations.

The games you're thinking of will most likely exceed your programming skill before they are above SmileBASIC's limitations, believe me.

JP, it's on SBS

This ain't javascript :P

IF I$ == "P" THEN

that's because the smile button runs a program that probably uses ACLS

yeah

DEG(ATAN(SY,SX))

IF SPHITSP(0,1) THEN ?"HITTING";

change text colors please. Try green

SPCHR

that's chinese, and currently we only have a japanese keyboard.

do you know what the help button is? it's the blue question mark button in the top-right. use it while the cursor is on SPHITRC to get a usage summary.

i get the joke

optionally, you could use SPHITRC, which also requires a SPCOL but uses a rectangle instead of another sprite. you could use this with TOUCH OUT to not even have to use a cursor!

erm SPCOL is supposed to be called before the SPHITSP is called, and only once. So DISPLAY 1 SPSET 0,255 SPSET 1,21 SPCOL 0 SPCOL 1 IF SPHITSP(0,1) THEN ?"HIT"

you're welcome.

use STR$(number) to convert a number to a string.
