Hello, i'm new to programming and GDK, but i am taking several programming courses in school, and i wanted to try my hand at game-making.
i am following one of the tutorials on the site, and in one of the steps the writer uses code such as:

box 100,100,540,380

and

For boxCount=1 to 10 step 2
left=boxCount*10
top=10
right=left+5
bottom=30
box left, top, right, bottom
next boxCount

whenever i try to compile a program with these functions, VC says it does not recognize them, and the program just exits.
What can i do about this? thanks for any help!

What you have written there is BASIC from either DBC or DBPro, not C++.

In C++, it would be something like:

+ Code Snippet

for (int boxCount = 1; boxCount <= 10; boxCount += 2)
{
    int left=boxCount*10;
    int top=10;
    int right=left+5;
    int bottom=30;
    dbBox(left, top, right, bottom);
}
