Getting white screen, not working

[Pwego]

With knowledge from you guys about while and if statements i cleaned up my code to this.

	 while (start < 2){
		 if (stage1 = true){
			 Drawitem(itemx,itemy,0,255,0 );}
		 if (!stage2){
			 Drawitem(item2x,item2y,0,255,0 );}
		 if (!stage3){
			 Drawitem(item3x,item3y,0,0,255 );
		 	 if (facex<400){item3x=item3x+4,item3y=item3y-4;}}

			 if (facex-5 <= item2x+5 && facex+5 >= item2x-5 && facey-5 <= item2y+5 && facey+5 >= item2y-5) {
				stage1=false,stage2=false;}
			 if (facex-5 <= item2x+5 && facex+5 >= item2x-5 && facey-5 <= item2y+5 && facey+5 >= item2y-5) {
				stage2=true,stage3=false;}
			 if (facex-5 <= item3x+5 && facex+5 >= item3x-5 && facey-5 <= item3y+5 && facey+5 >= item3y-5) {
				stage3=true;}
	 }

but now it whitescreens instead of working. Help idk what i did wrong.

line 2 is an assignment (=). You probably wanted comparison (==)

I changed it to

		 if (stage1== true){
			 Drawitem(itemx,itemy,0,255,0 );}
			 if (facex-5 <= item2x+5 && facex+5 >= item2x-5 && facey-5 <= item2y+5 && facey+5 >= item2y-5) {
				stage1=false,stage2=false;}

		 if (stage2==false){
			 Drawitem(item2x,item2y,0,255,0 );}
			 if (facex-5 <= item2x+5 && facex+5 >= item2x-5 && facey-5 <= item2y+5 && facey+5 >= item2y-5) {
				stage2=true,stage3=false;}

		 if (stage3==false){
			 Drawitem(item3x,item3y,0,0,255 );
		 	 if (facex<400){item3x=item3x+4,item3y=item3y-4;}}
				 if (facex-5 <= item3x+5 && facex+5 >= item3x-5 && facey-5 <= item3y+5 && facey+5 >= item3y-5) {
					stage3=true;}

but now it doesnt work properly with collision. Also if I add a while in there at all!!! it whitescreens

You are not changing 'start' anywhere in that loop. So once the loop starts, it will continually loop forever because 'start' will always be less than 2.
