yeah.. but still, my code has an issue. Once I get this sorted out, I can actually start coding the game! issue is if I press help or scores, it will go into the subroutines which makes it display timed mode/classic mode which should only happen if the bit is set to 1 I think it is?

This offset is then applied to N, either moving N in the appropriate direction towards M or, if N already equals M, not changing it at all.

ohh, the ! shouldn't be there, should it
edit: that would make it work.. but not the second menu.. ill work on that
edit 2: This should be COMPLETELY working. Idk why it isn't because all if's and ends are all tied together and I made sure of that through and through over and under, in and out times 2. I'll even make sure this is correct before i click the save button for this edit to show up

Runer, I don't see what your getting at to be honest. I have inverted the bits (:1->x :.if bit is 1 :If X), flipping them both ways (:1->X :!If X) (0->X :If X) and none of those 3 options have worked. I know its the most obvious thing for you, but for me, it's not.

What he's saying is that you're setting it and immediately after checking it.
Either eliminate the condition or move the 1->X to where it belongs, outside the first conditional. (Almost certainly the latter)

Ok. I put the bit outside of the !If K-15 and (M-52). I found out if I set it to 1, the first menu works. If I set it to 0, the second menu works. I can't seem to get both of them to work together

*Facepalm*
Sorry but I had to rate down this comment as it was rude and uncalled for. You know Omnimaga is supposed to be free from hostility towards new members, right? If you cannot help Snake X in a respectful manner, you should just ignore his questions and let someone else do it. Not that he was even supposed to receive this much help anyway (even less posting this much source code for his program), because now his program is disqualified from the Axe contest.

Oh, disqualified? Poor Snake_X :(
Well, we can still help you make a great game, even if not for the contest :)

when he wants to continue, I'm willing to help too,  cuz it looks like it's gonna be a great game!
everytime that I was down, you would always come around, and get my feedback on the ground. (modified part from 'Seasons in the sun')

No matter how many errors are bothering you, always try to stay rel-Axe!

Yeah same, or he could create a spinoff for the contest and release Snake later. He would still get a lower originality score if he reused a lot of code (and the title screen) but it would be eligible if he did not post that many code.

Plus I warned him on IRC a while ago, not to mention Runer112 did on this topic at the beginning.

I'm sorry about the "facepalm" post, I was just a little disappointed that you were taking a while to understand what I was getting at. It was uncalled for.

Anyways, it looks like I guided this project right into the garbage can. I'm sorry Snake X. :'(
