Umm...

IF an IF is inside an IF, is it proper to END IF twice?

ON KEYDOWN
IF keydown$ = "1" THEN
IF turn = 0 THEN
x = RANDOM 2
IF x = 2 THEN ALERT Success!
ELSE
ALERT Failed.
turn = 1
END IF
END IF

This doesn't work. What's wrong?

Try indenting your code. Really helps with finding errors:

Code: [Select]

ON KEYDOWN 
      IF keydown$ = "1" THEN  
            IF turn = 0 THEN 
                  x = RANDOM 2 
                  IF x = 2 THEN ALERT Success! 
            ELSE 
                  ALERT Failed. 
                  turn = 1 
            END IF 
      END IF

Seems to me like you're missing an end keydown.

Hmm. This is quite confusing. I've checked it many times and added the end keydown. but still not working.

I tried it as well and the ELSE condition never executes. Very strange...

Looks like it's a problem with your turn variable. It will never = 1. See below.


' assume turn = 0 at start
ON KEYDOWN
  ' key 1 pressed
  IF keydown$ = "1" THEN
    ' turn = 0 so do this
    IF turn = 0 THEN
      x = RANDOM 2
      IF x = 2 THEN ALERT Success!
    ELSE
      ' turn will never be anything other than 0 so will never get here
      ' turn needs to be set to 1 or something other than 0 to get here.
      ALERT Failed.
      turn = 1
    END IF
  END IF
END KEYDOWN
