Change 220 to -220 on the last line

Wow, Good spot I will have to take more care of things like that.
Thankyou very much I will have to think of some proper problems for you to solve.
All the best,
Banshee.

You're welcome

I just thought of something how hard would it be to, instead of street names as pictures could you put them in in text, like get the data from an xl or word doc?
Any ideas?

[DavidN]

Yes, you can load text in from external files by using several objects. There's some discussion, mostly about the INI object, here:

Easiest way would be to use a listobject. It can load txt files with its "load listfile" action. Then you could pick a line from that list at random.

[Banshee]

I will explore these the Load listfile looks handy for a novice such as I . But alas the family are home and they want some attention so it has been a blast guy's thank's for all the time.
All the best,

Morning People,
Are there any examples of a timer. I want the clock running to see how long it takes to complete a level.
I have got the timer object Ready but cannot work out how to get it running.
All the best,
Banshee

Just throw in a counter and do this:

Every 1 second
- add 1 to counter

Easy as pie

I want it to start when I hit the start button but it does not.
I had to change the colour so as I could see it also.
