I'm not sure what the meaning is of a lot of the code, it seems pretty messy to me:

Function leveldraw() 
image$=background1

If image$=background1
If KeyHit(17) ;w
image$=background3
EndIf
EndIf 

If image$=background3
If KeyHit(17) ;w
image$=background5
If KeyHit(30) ;a
image$=background4
If KeyHit(31)
image$=background1
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf


Background1 Background2 etc. ARE ALL THE SAME Image ("background.bmp")
And in the snippet above, you are seeing if "image$" (A string) is equivalent to the Image handle?

Also the entrie funciton begins with:
image$=background1

If image$=background1
If KeyHit(17) ;w
image$=background3
EndIf
EndIf


So Image$ WILL ONLY BE = background1, meaning the only possible outcome is that w must be pressed in order to change the value of Image$ to further affect the following If's... Very unlikely anyone has reflexes quick enough to press the 'correct' keys in the 'correct' order to achieve much.
