BSL has no "for" or "while" | It is generally desirable in any program to be able to run the same code over and over, such as repeatedly spawning enemies. This is one of BSL's biggest limitations, as it has no conventional loop statement like C's "for" or "while", but there are two indirect methods for looping: (1) use "fork" on a function (see the section on [[#Looping|looping functions]]), and (2) "schedule-repeat-every" (see [[#Concurrency|Concurrency]]). | ||
