Anyone know where you can find that mad gibs tutorial online? I liked that one but I had to rent it from a library and it took 2 months to get in from Maine!

Like...

Input "Your name?",myname$
Print "My name is "+myname$+", and don't wear it out."

You see text is treated a bit like a numeric variable in that you can check if 1 text string '>' another, which is great for sorting routines - but if you add 2 strings together with a '+', it adds them together in a longer string.

Well I'd use a wait key, or something - but really that's not important, as long as you know how to use the input command, you can forget about it's existence .

It's really just hitting the end of the program without waiting - a wait key, or a little loop would do it. For example, to wait on the return key to be pressed:

While returnkey()=0 : endwhile

Input "A name please",NAME1$
Input "An animal's name",ANIMAL$
Input "Enter a noun",NOUN$

Print NAME1$+"Was eating "+ANIMAL$+"When he saw"+NOUN$

Wait key

See your text sections need inverted commas (e.g. "your text"), but your string variables don't. Note the variable NAME1$ as well, don't know if that was a typo, but it would'nt have worked without setting NAME1$ in the input part.

Is there any way there can be a space right after where it asks you to input stuff so it looks like:

Please enter a name: Bob

Instead of:

Please enter a name:Bob

And please help me with why there's no space in here between NAME$+ "Was eating a"

Firstly, it's no trouble at all, good to see someone putting in the effort to learn this stuff.

Try this code:

Input "A name please: ",NAME1$
Input "An animal's name: ",ANIMAL$
Input "Enter a noun: ",NOUN$

Print NAME1$+" Was eating "+ANIMAL$+" When he saw "+NOUN$


You should set all that stuff inside the inverted commas.
