your using two loops where you don't need to, the second box isn't being created because the line of code is never reached - the first do-loop has hijacked your program

try:

+ Code Snippet

rem create camera
make camera 1
position camera 1,25,5,10
pitch camera down 25
pitch camera down 1,25

rem create arena
make matrix 1,50,50,25,25

rem setup player 1
make object box 1,1,1,3
position object 1,30,1,25

color object 1,RGB(255,0,0)

rem setup player 2
make object box 2,1,1,3
position object 2,20,1,25

color object 1,RGB(0,0,255)


do

if upkey()=1 then move object 1,0.1
if downkey()=1 then move object 1,-0.1
if shiftkey()=1 then move object 2,0.1
if controlkey()=1 then move object 2,0.1

loop
