@dysfunction:  I know the labels and gotos are bad, I was just too lazy at the time to get rid of them.  EDIT:  I just removed them from my game.  Now to update the code.  EDIT:  Code updated.  dragon_lance: if you hate gotos, you may want to check the updated code.  I removed all of them.

Also, although the "If K=0:End" is unnecessary, it makes your key presses run faster and gives a better response time so that it doesnt go through the whole loop everytime, only that very short loop.  In my mind, its worth the extra 5-10 bytes to make it run that much faster.

I'm not sure how If K=0:End would result in better response time. Certainly it would increase framerate when a key is not being pressed, but since nothing is happening when a key is not pressed, I can't see how that would matter. All it should do is slow it down a bit when a key IS pressed, since it has that extra If to go through.

I only see the use for grayscale stuff , but I used Repeat Getkey:end instead

It increases the frame rate while you aren't doing anything so it isn't in the loop somewhere when you press the key, its always right at the getkey.  I don't know, maybe it doesn't help, I'll check it out later.

what is good is that it makes key detection a bit better

OK, I see now... I'll have to actually try it though.

I've never actually tested it, it was just a theory I had.
