In an art package you can select an image, copy it, and paste it into a new screen. The new screen should be the size of your circle now. Make sure that the background is black 0,0,0. Save as bmp...

In DB load Image "Whatever.bmp",1,1 ... The second 1 is for DBPro.

Now make a sprite with Image number 1.

Dude, this is the same question that gets answered like 3 times EVERY day! What I want to know is how to draw a map 3 times the size of the monitor, then put 3 player characters onto it, and handle them, explosions and projectiles ect. Then display it as a four panel split screen affair, with 3 panels showing each player and their surroundings and the 4th panel displaying a mini amp of all the action. At 60fps. THATS somthing they dont tell you in the sodding tutorials. As for Danno, go read 2d thread for explanations from me and pincho as to how to(yawn) get a sprite on screen...

I have DB Electronic, and whenever I try loading bitmaps it wont work, but when i go to the tutorial it loads one fine. How do I load one, and how can i get the file from a folder if I was to compile the game onto a CD?

Geeks will one day reign

I often make the mistake of not putting the file type into the file name when I type it in(the .bmp part) and it just comes back as an error!

Also you have to save your program to the same folder your images are in. When you compile the thing to a .exe then DB automatically puts all your images and sounds and everything into the .exe file, so you dont have to worry about any of that. Just put your.exe onto disk and give it to your buddies and all the graphics will be there!

@Code Stealer

Are you making a liero clone?

Quote: "how to(yawn) get a sprite on screen"

Umm, this coming from a n00b that can't figure out how to do split screen and a minimap?

To do the split screen, draw all graphics to a bitmap at the required size and then copy the bitmap to the screen in the different positions.

For the weapons, i depends of the weapons, but i would normally create a user defined type (udp) and have it contain the position, velocity, acceleration and angles of the projectile, and update them each frame.

As for the mini map, you could pick every couple of pixels in the map and draw them on the minimap, and then draw the positions of the players at their reduced positions

There, i just showed you how to (yawn) do splitscreen and weapons and a minimap

No, really, its true. Honest

Doesnt the term "n00b" annoy other people as much as it does me? Its the worst example of "l33tspeek" in existance, and doesnt mean much. Its somehere between idiot, and inexperienced but really it means someone who is new, which is something to be ENCOURAGED not discouraged! So insulting! I prefer to just say knob instead. Its much simpler and less elitist(who wants to be an elite geek though I wonder?) Anyway, if its so easy to do maps and collisions how come I cant find a decent example of a 2d top down scrolling background ANYWHERE? If you know different and can point me to a good map handler with sprite to wall collisions I would apreciate it, being as Im a "n00b"

   What the heck is all this?
   Well, it's our level. Every number represents a tile on our map.
   The 1's represent background, and the 2's represent platforms. I wanted
   to keep the data 40x30 form, so you can see the level relatively clearly,
   but that wasn't possible. Each *pair* of DATA statements is one horizontal
   line of tiles.
   Obviously, there are other ways of designing your levels! You'll want to
   use a tile-mapping program, and save your levels instead of hard-coding
   them in DATA statements like this. But this will do, to show you how the
   array holds the whole level.

REMSTART
   What the heck is all this?
   Well, it's our level. Every number represents a tile on our map.
   The 1's represent background, and the 2's represent platforms. I wanted
   to keep the data 40x30 form, so you can see the level relatively clearly,
   but that wasn't possible. Each *pair* of DATA statements is one horizontal
   line of tiles.
   Obviously, there are other ways of designing your levels! You'll want to
   use a tile-mapping program, and save your levels instead of hard-coding
   them in DATA statements like this. But this will do, to show you how the
   array holds the whole level.
