Why won't this line work?
if key$()="2" then credit = credit-2 else

You should write

+ Code Snippet

if x=y 
       a=a+1
else
       a=a-1
endif

There are basically 2 ways to use IF

+ Code Snippet

1. if a = b then b=b+1 (1line variant - no else available)

2. if a=b (with if ... else ... and [b]endif[/b])
       do something
    else
       do something else
    endif

Is this something like what you are trying to do?

+ Code Snippet

sync on : sync rate 60
credit = 100
KeyPressed = 0
repeat
	cls
	if KeyPressed = 0 and inkey$() = "2"
		dec credit, 2
		KeyPressed = 1
	endif
	if scancode() = 0 then KeyPressed = 0
	text 300,300,"credit: " + str$(credit)
	sync
until spacekey() = 1
end

key$() will not return anything from the keyboard, but inkey$() will. Attila is correct about your syntax being off.

So many games to code.....so little time.
