Ok, so I was attempting to make my first game when I ran into a few problems. I have made 2 versions of the game and both I have had both technical problems and problems stemming from my limited knowledege base. The game I am attempting to recreate is an extremely simple version of brick breaker. I will first show the code, and then explain my problems.

Move Sprite 1, 400
Endif
If Rightkey()=1
Move Sprite 1, 400
Endif
If Input$="e"
End
Endif

The problems I have with this version are that when you press the left or right arrow keys, A: Nothing happens. B: I am almost certain "Move Sprite" doesn't specify direction and I can't find any other commands that will do so.
After unsuccessfully attempting to fix that version I opted for version 2.0. The first two screens are the same, only the "brick breaker" part itself is different. This is the code I am having trouble with.
*Note: trampolineX = the first x coordinate and trapolineXY
= the second
trampolineX = 300
trampolineXY = 500
box trampolineX, 600, trampolineXY, 700
Enter Code For Bricks (ie. box 121, 245, 356, 467)
Do
if leftkey()=1
trampolineX - 3
trampolineXY - 3
Endif
if rightkey()=1
trampolineX + 3
trampolineXY + 3
endif
loop
The problems with this code are that A: When you press an arrow key nothing happens and B: I wouldn't know how to code the collisions.
Thank you very much to any who help. It is much appreciated.
