i havent been on a while and i have a few q and c's.
@bigdog00 just use the wikia,plz. you are about the only person who can use those qr codes

i need help with things. 1. i am trying to make a Beyblade spinoff on BASIC(yay).anyway how would i do the random movement? so far all i can do is make it follow my players beyblade.2. i am also making an rpg ecause the rpg's i have seen are good, but they have no storyline. how would i do something like a pokemon battle? it seems really complex in my head. last thing. everytime i make a sprite walk, it walks to a definite place. i am the one controlling it. how do i make it keep moving?.ok. info would be appreciated. Thank you.

That's because you're so smart, numbers don't trip you.

The reason variable names are preferred is because you can change it right at the top, and the whole code is modified. In other words: Maintainability. What if you want to change the sprite? You can have PADDLE=95, and have every PADDLE instance changed, or you can search for every "95" value in the code, and double check that is paddle, instead of something else. This is very helpful when your program goes large. For 500 lines or less program, then yeah, numbers don't matter. But what you're advocating is the use of "magic number" and that's bad programming practice.

In some circles, even the use of variables I,J for loops is discouraged. For example
FOR I=0 to 191:FOR J=0 to 255
is considered bad. The preferred style would be
FOR Y=0 to MAX_Y:FOR X=0 to MAX_X

This is only relevant if you ever want to work as a computer programmer, but it's good to keep in mind even when you're a beginner.

Try using the command SPANIM in RUN mode. Actually, try using any command in RUN mode, and see if it helps you understand how they work.

There is a SPRITE tutorial in the Tutorial thread. Does nobody actually bothered to read the post, or is the post very confusing?

Also, snoremac has been walling. How about cleaning up some of the posts?

Wait, were we talking about sprites or sprite characters?

well, if by sprites, you mean the command, and by sprite characters, you mean the sprites you see on the screen, then i was talking about the sprite command.

not to sound impatient (even though it is) but i need an answer quick, plz.

OK I have looked everywhere but could not find the answer to this simple question: How do you display a graphic on the bottom screen??? See, I am making a rather large Random generated content rpg called "Battle wood" And it works great! The only problem is that I only know how to use pnltype and pnlstring so the words that appear on the bottom screen are not very noticeable. I want to have an old man telling the story as it happens and yelling at you and blaming you for making mistakes and such. Anyways back to the point, HOW DO YOU DISPLAY A GRP ON THE TOUCH SCREEN???!!! Also @Morphtroid, this is the only way to tell you; You are awesome! I have all your Petit computer games! Keep it up!
