Hi Ads,
To keep a piece of text or something in the same place, you can do something like:

+ Code Snippet

sync on

rem Main loop
do

set cursor x,y
print "score - ",score
sync

rem Other stuff here

loop

Not sure what the problem could be with rapidly adding numbers. Are you immediatly deleting the object when you pick it up. A suggested pseudo-code:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
score = 0

rem Main loop
do

set cursor x,y
print "score - ",score
sync

for i = 1 to number_of_objects
  if collsion with object i
    score = score + 1
    delete object i
    rem some other stuff
  endif
next i

rem Other stuff here

loop

Don't know if that helps. Post your code if there are still problems.

p.s. Are you still joining our group
