This instruction define a conditional loop, or a list of statements that will be executed while an expression is true. WHILE acts as the starting position while WEND as the ending one. This command provides a convenient way of making the program repeat a group of instructions all the time a particular condition is true. The condition is checked again at every turn of the loop, until it is no longer true.

  WHILE alive : score = score + 1 : WEND
