I want to create a game that works a bit like dragon's lair (I think) where the direction of the player is determned by clicking on arrows in the corner of the screen to change the scene, but it won't work! The Game Creators Staff were rude when I asked them it (they said, "Don't expect everyone to do it for you! Post in the forums!") Please tell me what is wrong with my code!

Sorry, there must be an error with the system, or maybe the computer doesn't like me (they never do!). Here is the code I have tried for making a circle on screen disappear by clicking in the top left corner of the screen:

cls
sync on
sync rate 30
circle 300,300,20
if mousex()<100 and mousey()<100
cls

(I sometimes get errors arising in lines that don't exist in the above code, e.g. line 10, line 15, etc.)

Sonic The Hedgehog,

I have attached to this post source code which solves your problem. It needs no media, so just copy and paste and run it. The code is fairly simple and is printed with a comment for each section within it.

By the way, in the code you wrote above...



...is definately set for erros. You are missing the endif part of the if statement, which is checking for mouse coordinates. Also, you have turned manual sync on, but have not included the sync command to manualy refresh the screen.
