I am still working on the Choose your own adventure game and I was
wondering it there a
code line to let the player have a few minuets to read the text before
the "make your choice " pops up under the opening text.
I know to most of you think this is a dumb question but I just can nopt
find the correct dose for this?

Sadly, Microsoft Basic v2.0 didn?t have much in that regard. Most people just burned a
cpu loop.
for de = 1 to 1000: next de
9:40 a.m.
The C64 had TI$. Its been a while... but you could do something like this:
10 TI$="000000"
insert lots of program...
100 if TI$="000030" then print "30 seconds have passed! "
I'm sure I've forgotten some details, but you should be able to make that
work.

Using "equals" there can cause issues if somehow 31 seconds pass then
you check (perhaps the user hit RUN/STOP, waited, then CONTINUE...)
What's safer is
100 TI$="000000"
110 IF (TI < 1800) GOTO 110
Just reset TI/TI$ like line 100 every time you want to wait (you can't
set TI, only TI$), then loop until enough "jiffies" (1/60 sec) have
passed. You could make it fancier with a subroutine that uses a
variable (in seconds) and does the math for you.
Many ways to do it.
