You place it in the outside of a main loop.

Okay,kill me if you want,but i modified the code above and the following line doesnt work:
if selectedItem=1 and KEYSTATE(156)=1 then goto game_subroutine .This code was placed just after the final line.But it doesnt work.What gives.156 is Enter...im so confused.

156 is ENTER only on the numpad; the other key labeled ENTER is actually RETURN...scan code for RETURN is 28.

This just isnt working...
I even tried "gosub" instead of "goto".I tried returnkey()=1 instead of KEYSTATE(28)=1.Why doesnt the subroutine end and go to the 2nd subroutine??I dont know what code to add more...

but it is still inside the main loop? otherwise it'd never be reached.

Okay,still my code doesnt work.The new image from the new subroutine loads and quickly exits. Then DarkBASIC crashes.Please have a look at the code.

^ Never mind...got it fixed.I placed the "load music" outside of the loop (same mistake again).Also added "cls" to the subroutine.Also added "delete music 1" so i can use different music in-game.
