im trying to think of a mathematical formula where the numbers start out small, but become bigger faster and faster (like acceleration)
but cant think of one.

Something Like This?

Do
If upkey()=1 Then Speed#=Speed#+Acc#
Speed#=Speed#/1.03
Print Speed#
Loop

Or do you want the rate of acceleration to increase also?
Do
If upkey()=1 Then Speed#=Speed#+(Acc#*(Speed#/50))
Speed#=Speed#/1.03
Print Speed#
Loop

Well... I hope I helped...

The computer isn't an addiction, its more of a mental and social dependancy.
