you should put you code in a code box it's the code button beside the link button when posting. But other then that I think that you should let the player advance to the next text their self instead of making it appear for 5 seconds

Good job. I think text is perfect for starters. Here's a few things that you should always do with your code:
-Indent: It makes it easier to read, and in the future you will be happy you did so.
-put cls at the beginning of your loop.

---
So your code should look more like this:



But I recommend you use the suspend for key command so the person doesn't have to wait 5 seconds each time.

I urge you to watch the film "Who killed the electric car". Support electric cars! Did you know their used to be more electric cars then gassoline cars?

Or you could use wait key. I like it better because it is shorter, and if you want you can always change out key for a number. It does exactly the same thing as suspend for key.

Ever notice how in Microsoft word, the word "microsoft" is auto corrected to be "Microsoft" but "macintosh" just gets the dumb red underline?
