OK!

Well, I just startes some DBP programming/coding in school... And well, our teacher didn't teach us anything.. except what a loop, if and statement.. and maybe the most basic things are...

We currently have to make a two level game, that has 20 facts incorporated into it.. My idea was to print a fact on the screen everyone time you ran into an object, in this case... a fruit...

I'll post this, if it helps..

I just realized I didn't really ask what i wanted..

I needed help on what exactly to put in my code, so it would print "fact here" on the screen every time i ran into a fruit.

(you can still play the game, put its juts printed on the top of the screen or something..)

One way:
"text x,y,txt$"

...where x and y are the position on screen (starting top left) to print the text at, and txt$ is given a value by you to print IE:

txt$="Apple"

or...

txt$=str$(FruitColor)

Hope that helps. I'll watch this thread for any further questions...

So...

I'm still a little bit confused.


If i wanted to have it print something like " Soda is bad for you"

How would I do that..

And is there a certain place I would need to put this into my code, I can put the whole code if need be.

I'll be online for the next hour or so.
If anyone wants to send me an email with some help, instead of posting here...

My email for online is: lemon.phat@gmail.com

I just mailed you an example but I'm thinking it might be worth taking a little look at your code. You could email it to me or post it here, either way I'll take a look and try to give you a few pointers where I can.

It's a good idea to keep one problem to one post (for future reference). I posted an answer to this on the new thread you made but as it would be confusing it might be best if once you have a working version you could maybe post a brief description of how you resolved the issue?
