No matter how much I try to do this, I just don't get what I'm doing wrong.Begin:
print "This game you are about to take part in will work in to what you're searching for: the item I made you. Work through this game, and you'll understand."
input " " ;input1$
goto Begin1

Begin1:
CLS
print "Press enter to begin the first test."
input " " ;input2$
CLS
goto Test1p1

Test1p1:
print "Test 1"
print "Test 1 will test your problem-solving abilities."
print "Do you understand?"
input "> " ;input3$
if input3$ = "Yes" then goto Test1p2
if input3$ = "Yes." then goto Test1p2
if input3$ = "yes" then goto Test1p2
if input3$ = "yes." then goto Test1p2
goto Confused1

Confused1:
CLS
print "Well, I guess you don't understand."
print "Try again: "
goto Test1p1

Test1p2:
print "Good. Now, this test will test your endurance. When you're ready, press enter."
input " " ;input4$
CLS
print "Press the space bar this many times: " "100"
space = 100
input " " ;input5$
if spacekey()= 1
do space = space -1
endif
if space = 0 then goto Test1p3
endif


Test1p3:
CLS
print "Good!"
wait key

These are were you are getting problems from:
do space = space -1
endif
if space = 0 then goto Test1p3
endif

The "DO" is only for "DO"-"LOOP"s.

The endif there needs to be deleted. On the line before, if space = 0 then goto Test1p3 already takes care of the "endif" because the outcome of the statement is already on the same line.

Example:


I see what you are trying to do at the end. You might try this at the end:


Hopefully this helps!

@Mr Potato - you might be wondering why using gosub is fine but goto isn't ...

I see it like this - imagine you are the foreman in a workshop and you have just taken on a new apprentice - if you simply tell that new apprentice to go over to the processing plant - the equivalent of 'goto newplant' - chances are he'll get lost or maybe go down the pub and get blabbared or something instead. However, if you tell him to go to the processing plant, do a specific task and report straight back to your office when done - this time 'gosub newplant', chances are you won't lose him for the day. see the difference?

In the fun game of computer programming, your code is the new apprentice and you're the foreman charged with making it work efficiently. hope this helps, owlman

if effort>reward : gosub home : endif
