This is my first DBC game! Its not very exciting so dont get your hopes up....Im not sure youll be able to play it, because you need media but its not hard to read through. Have any comments or critisisms? (I kinda want critisisms so that I can make this thing better....)
Thanks

Looks nice for a first game.

But here are the advices I could give you :
- Don't use GOTO, try somthing with GOSUB (to avoid Spaghetti-code)
- Do not use WAIT, try to find a way with TIMER()
Once you did the same game with the two things I said, you improved your skills.

Well you have your label called lava



It will read a subroutine. That means that you made some code between lava: and RETURN when he reaches RETURN, he just goes back, where the GOSUB stands.

Lol, try using the both I told, then we may see.
Always go step by step, and it will come easily.

Really, the only advice I can give is to use the "`" instead of "rem", just because it saves time and is easier to read. I think it looks ok. Like Damokles said, use gosub instead of goto, and try to use different things than "print", escpecially if you're making a 3D game.

Sorry but youd have to make your own media yourself. (meaning make all of the images and the sound) That would take a bit of time not worth your effort.

All you do is use the arrow keys to direct a guy (that doesnt even have a 'run' animation) towards a stupid litttle heart.
While avoiding a monster that wont even try to go near you. (cant figure out simple AI)


But thanks for the interest....
