I took a quick look at the source and I noticed that you call prgmMOVEPI twice every loop. Why is that? Also, I'd recommend not to use xLib for such a small game, you're probably off better with just pasting prgmMOVEPI in the main loop.
I'm not a nerd but I pretend:

That's for the movement, it lets you move the pi while the * is falling. You couldn't before that, and it got frustrating.

Aah ok that explains. My other point still stands, though: I would recommend making your game just a single file.

I'll tell Thomas and see what he can do.

I hate subprograms in BASIC. Thomas said we had no choice :P

Something you might not know yet: You can copy-paste programs into other programs by recalling them, just like you do with strings, variables, etc. It's a really nifty feature that I've used quite a few times.

I do know that actually... I just don't use it that much.
And that was actually the only thing i thought I could use RCL on before.

Yeah I try to keep everything in as few sub programs as possible when making games. Unfortunately, with Reuben CSE I'll have no choice to use sub-programs, though (the character conversation display routine and window boxes, for example)

Aww, that sucks :( IMO this project seemed to be a great learning exercise. But it's your choice ^^

Is it due to moving too far away from him and never being able to see him again?

Ah sorry to hear, I didn't realize the move was this far. It sucks to lose friends x.x

But, I feel closer to all you guys then any of my friends. Only prob, I haven't met any of you :P

Hey, you guys are better then all my friends in real life (most reject calc programming, thinking it's too hard. Others have giant egos and think they do better then me even though I taught them. Thomas is the only understandably guy, but he rarely talks to me out of school.)

Big egos are my main problem. This (ironically) started due to Thomas S.(another one that I taught for TSA)(big ego guy) saying we should make a game. He wanted snake, but couldn't even figure out the Output command. He actually wanted to copy one off the internet, like my friend Yifan on Cemetech (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7905&sid=1fb976769e7b96572b9690bea22b3d64) coping snake off the internet and using his name in place of the authors name (I hate him for that).
Thomas S. ended up not doing any work, not even planning, because he claimed to "not have time to program or learn."

Also because I drop most lazy programming friends.
