is there anything that will be a problem? anything that may be more effective other than what i have

i'm currently making a text based choose your own adventure game with possible RPG elements. i'm somewhat new at programming, my father is very good ad QB64, but isn't always able to help me with my problems, i'm not asking about story help but with ways i could make my code run more efficiently. iv'e recently replaced a lot of if statements with select case, which in turn has helped with a lot of bugs. but i'm not sure what else would be effective.

Welcome to Code Review. There are some minor issues with your question, mostly its title and description. We expect your description to tell us about more about your project, for example what kind of text adventure we have at hand, whether you care about handling of incorrect input and similar decisions. Your title on the other hand should describe your project, not your concerns about the project. After all, we review your code/project, not your concerns, although we try to answer them during said review. See How to Ask for some examples.

i'm currently making a text based choose your own adventure game with possible RPG elements. i'm somewhat new at programming, my father is very good ad QB64, but isn't always able to help me with my problems, i'm not asking about story help but with ways i could make my code run more efficiently. iv'e recently replaced a lot of if statements with select case, which in turn has helped with a lot of bugs. but i'm not sure what else would be effective.

Welcome to Code Review. There are some minor issues with your question, mostly its title and description. We expect your description to tell us about more about your project, for example what kind of text adventure we have at hand, whether you care about handling of incorrect input and similar decisions. Your title on the other hand should describe your project, not your concerns about the project. After all, we review your code/project, not your concerns, although we try to answer them during said review. See How to Ask for some examples.
