:eek:

This all took me about a weekend of changing stuff. Also you may find it is similar to another guy's code - Vic Luce? Just getting used to sprites and all that lot. Can't think why :rolleyes:
TP
P.S. View my website with more QBasic stuff @ http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fastnet34
Please comment by email to it - thats if you want to.

to make it better you could try loading the data from a file, therefore removing the DATA statements... :)

Do you know how you do that? I hae tried but it doesn't seem to work - i don't know how to read each line of the file...any ideas?
Thanks
TP

dim tmpvar as string

open "c:\somefile.txt" for input as #1
do until eof(1)
line input #1, tmpvar
DATA tmpvar
loop
close #1

This is assuming you have a file called "c:\somefile.txt" with the numbers in them that will be used for the DATA statement.
