i would assume this is coz you have a space between "sprite" and "collision" cases are better used in single worded variables

dats my input

I think you have misunderstood the syntax for select statements. Select Statements are made up of a single Select keyword, and finish with the EndSelect keyword. Inside this code block of:

Select variable

EndSelect

You can have as many cases as possible, which are chosen by the value of variable e.g.

Select myVar
Case 1
Rem Some code if myVar is equal to 1
EndCase
Case 2
Rem Some code if myVar is equal to 2
EndCase
EndSelect

From that code you should be able to get it working with your program

It looks like you want to use select..case like a branching IF statement. I'm kind of asking this question too, does nesting select..case in side other select..case statements generate an error?
