You can use the function STR$() to convert a number to a string.

TEXT 0, 0, "Score:" + STR$(Score)

is the "keystate" command faster than the "spacekey" type command and is there any pics that show the numbers for the keys?

Answer in order ...

spacekey and keystate run at the same speed - they check the same thing after all.

If you press the downkey, set the sprite rotation to 180 ...

Perhaps because your display is only 640x480 and you can position the food outside of this range (700x600)
