"CLS
DIM score$
PRINT" Welcome to TS2Trivia/TS2U Trivia .47!"
INPUT " Whate website can you get TheSims2 Enhancer from "; TS2E$
' Select the variable
SELECT CASE TS2$
CASE "sims2programs.com"
LOCATE 12, 16
PRINT "SCORE:"; PRINT score$ + "1"
END SELECT
Then I add another question but when I answer correct it is still 1. Do I need to make an array? What can I do? Please help."

Shouldn't TS2$ be TS2E$?
This is one of the(many) problems with QB. You can just create variables anywhere so typos then go unnoticed.
You know, you can specify OPTION EXPLICIT in QB so that you have to declare variables before you use them. Here's an example:
That is perfectly valid QB(and FB) code, but x will always be 0 unless you initialize it. However, if you want to use OPTION EXPLICIT, you cannot use a variable without declaring it first. So, this:
would be invalid and you would get an error. You would have to make it this:
for that to work. So that's one remedy for a QB problem.

I remember the option explicit command from php, which I stilll need to learn better. I hope that helped me. Thanks.
PRINT "SCORE:"; PRINT score$ + "1"
The above line doesn't actually increment the score$ variable. To actually increment the variable, you should type:
PRINT "SCORE:"
score$ = score$ + 1
PRINT score$
In your code, you only printed score$ + "1" to the screen (you probably meant score$ + 1), but you did not store the result anywhere.

As pointed out by mnangsar, since score$ is initialized to "" , you were outputting "" + "1" or "1" everytime. Also however, note that in QB having the '$' sign at the end of a variable designates it as a string. So even score$= score$ + 1 would leave you with unwonted results, youd get "111111..." for however many times you concatenate 1 to your string. You need to hold your score with an integer and display that.
