if a=4
if ypp#=11 `if the y position of the player =11
nypp#=ypp#-1 `the new " " " " "= " " "-1
endif

Well, lets manually run through your code. ypp#=11 lets say. Ok, so we subtract 1. It now equals 10. Next line of code says if ypp# = 10 then add 1. So now ypp# = 11 again. And it'll go on doing that forever. ypp# will always equal 11. What you need to do is throw in a few flags.
