In your do/loop you check for collision with sprite 3 and 5. Once you delete sprite 3 you continue the collision test. Since sprite 3 no longer exists you receive the error.

i was stuck on this for 3 days and i got it to work by doing this i don't know if it is the right way but it works


load image "\media\gamemenu.jpg",1
sprite 1,0,0,1

rem this loads images for the image buttons
load image "\media\menu.JPG",2
sprite 2,75,50,2
load image "\media\new game.JPG",3
sprite 3,75,200,3
load image "\media\exit game.JPG",4
sprite 4,75,300,4

rem cursor
load image "\media\cursor.dds",5


do
sprite 5,mousex(),mousey(),5




if sprite exist(3) then gosub clearscreen
if sprite exist(4) then gosub endgame




sync
LOOP




clearscreen:
if mouseclick()=1 and sprite collision(5,3)>0
delete sprite 1
delete sprite 2
delete sprite 3
delete sprite 4
delete image 1
delete image 2
delete image 3
delete image 4
endif

return

endgame:
if mouseclick()=1 and sprite collision (5,4)>0 then end

return

Attached is a old game project of mine, I think will help. What do you think about using something like this.
