maybe movement, shooting, collision, etc......i would put the computer AI and such in labels below the loop....that helps to keep it organized...

cheers,

try this

DO

-many tutorials
-much practice and hard work
-much experimenting with code until stumped
-ask in forums

SYNC
LOOP

not trying to offend you just trying to make a point that many coders here have sweated and struggled to achieve their skillset. Questions like these, no matter how innocent and well intended, are taken with a grain of "insult" rather than salt (and in Phillip's case a Jam sandwich)

hope you understand

CattleRustler summed up what you'll hear in a hundred different threads. If you are really bent on first person shooters, start by working through all the tutorials, then start little mini projects where you try to recreate effects seen in FPS games. Start with walking around a flat plain or matrix, add hills, collision. Start a separate project and try to make explosions, and build up your skill repertoire.

Its pretty sad when people won't even answer a question as general as this.

This kind of attitude is pretty much what makes these forums useless.

Really people arn't these forums here to ask questions?

Its pretty much pointless to ask a question here if the general attitude is 'Figure it out yourself.'

write something like this

do

gosub moveman
gosub movebaddies
gosub movebullits
gosub specialeffcts

sync

gosub collisionchecks

loop

Then REM out each GOSUB so the loop works. Now work on one routine at a time.
