I don't know exactly what is going on thar but I noticed

 

 player1::

 

should probably be

 player1:

 

and the

 

playfield:

 

should have a space so it isn't a label

 

 playfield:

It should look like this, though when you copy pasted your character its messed. This code will display both your characters at different positions. Your problem was placement of code and missing code. You could instead of using dim p1x and dim p1y just use the same as player0 but then they would be right on top of each other when you start the game. You always need to put spaces before most code for it to work.

 

x=50
y=50

dim p1x=100
dim p1y=100

main

playfield:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
