repeat
  DrawPlayer()

seems clear to me.. not less clear than:

repeat
  Gosub DrawPlayer
forever

I've no problems anymore with includes since I know how to make my own stuff highlight using that declr trick.

and what about:

repeat
  DrawPlayer(100,100)
forever

compared to:

repeat
  PlayerX=100:PlayerY=100:gosub DrawPlayer
forever

The main reason I like functions over gosubs is that functions look like other commands. Imagine the Rect command using a gosub:

RectX=0:RectY=0:RectWIdth=100:RectHeight=40:RectFill=true:gosub Rect

I use long variablenames since they need to be globals, and common stuff like x and y are usually already in use.

and now as a function:

Rect 0,0,100,40,true

By using functions all stuff looks uniform.
