Ok this is probably something really stupid, with the code below i have a simple Pong game i used the search button to find the tutorial on it and i'm adapting it to make it better. the problem arises when i try to make it post You win or you lose after 5-0 or 0-5 the computer slows right down and the animations slows to not really sure what i have done wrong so help is appreciated. i have tried leaving out the wait command after the sync not having the sync and all sorts of things

You have 2 SYNCs per loop when the text is being displayed. So the animations will be half the speed.

thankyou for that but i now have this problem

function Playagain()
return 0 for no
ExitFUnction 0

endfunction 1

it says it could not determine parameter of 0 for no at line 79

where i have put the section about you win or lose do i have to ask the player if they would like to play again? for this to work also how would i do that? could i just

IF player1score#=5 and player2score#<5
Center Text Screen Width() * 0.5 , Screen Height() * 0.5 ,"YOU WIN!"
wait returnkey()
ENDIF

or am i way off

Something like this should work. The syntax of yours did not make sense.

ok here is my code i have put yours in and i think i'm meant to add something somewhere not sure where.
sorry for the questions just not sure what the hell to do atm i have had dbpro for about 2 days. This code returns a error of

"user function Playagain must return a value if used in an expression at line 72"

How does the program get out of the Do..Loop to call the Playagain() function?

May I suggest that you take a quick look at Tutorial 2 here which covers program layout:

This should fix your current issue, but won't replace reading a good tutorial like TDK's.
