Woah! I can see your code now and to be honest I wish I couldn't!
You have some pretty good ideas, but you sure need to look at some tutorials (there are loads on the DBC board).
I would especially recommend you look at loops, functions and sub-routines as this program could use a few. I'll give you a little help with a FOR NEXT loop to get you going.
You wrote this:
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Sleep 275

Sleep 275

Sleep 275

Sleep 275

Sleep 275

Sleep 275
Print ".";
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Sleep 275
Print ".";
When you could have written this:
For c = 1 to 13
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Next c
And seeing as you use this "..." printing a couple of times you could make it into a gosub (sub-routine) or a function.
Which of these do you think is best to use?
FUNCTION
DO
`your program goes here
loading()
`your program goes here
loading()
LOOP
END
FUNCTION loading()
For c = 1 to 13
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Next c
ENDFUNCTION
or GOSUB
DO
`your program goes here
gosub loading
`your program goes here
gosub loading
LOOP
END
loading:
For c = 1 to 13
Sleep 275
Print ".";
Next c
RETURN
Once you've done TDK's basic tutorials you should be able to pick the best one
