I keep getting syntax errors in this code. I have no idea why. I marked the places with an error with an [error] sign.

This might be your problem:

[Jr. Pac]

Nope. Not that.

[Random Terrain]

Attach your .bas file so we're seeing exactly what you're seeing.

Is .bas ok?

That's what I meant. I typed the wrong thing.

Yep definitely that. None of these were indented

I accidentally erased the indents foor the COLUBK and COLUPF. Is that all that needs to be indented?

Your player statements (as above) were not indented. It compiled after that.

I had to reset my computer and now I'm finally back (it takes forever). As mentioned above, all 4 lines were not indented. This works:

Thanks so much. It's a secret game I'm making... Here's a few hints. Wrong way, Arcade, Pink

There's another syntax error now. In the title of the code. Here's the new BAS:

Looks like the same code with the same error.

[Jr. Pac]

Ugh! It didn't save the code!

You need to indent this stuff:

COLUBK=$00
COLUPF=$58
player0x=50:player0y=50
player1x=20:player1y=20

Now the colors on the sprites will only stay colored (not black) for one frame!

Because you don't have COLUP0 and COLUP1 inside your main loop:

You need to put COLUP0 and COLUP1 inside the loop, before the drawscreen command, because batari Basic changes COLUP0 and COLUP1 to the scorecolor at the bottom of every frame. If you had set scorecolor to something (instead of leaving it black), you'd have found that the sprites retained their colors for one frame, then changed to the scorecolor for subsequent frames. So putting COLUP0 and COLUP1 inside the loop, just before drawscreen, ensures that the sprite colors get set to the desired values before each frame is drawn.

Thanks for the info.

[Jr. Pac]

Now to the controls... That's not going to be any fun. When you press up, I need the player to go left. etc. This game was designed for your television to be turned on its side.

I just loaded it, compiled it, ran it and got no errors. Did you attach the latest version? It looks exactly like the last version that I attached.
