You put a loop when you want to repeat something over, and over. You would have an idea in your head....

"Hey I am making space invaders. I have 12 aliens on each row!"

You do a for next loop to position them...

Y = 100
X = 64
For n = 1 to 12
X = X + 64
sprite n,x,y,n
next n

A tutorial would not really help with 1 million different situations.

exactly. And you could then have your cleanup subroutine to delete any images or models in use.

This might help...

Click on the tutorials button on the left and select:

If it looks ike it could be of use to you, I recommend that you read Part 1 first as it covers stuff referred to in Part 2.
