I was trying to program a card game, and after typing in most of the programming I realized that i can only use 31 bitmaps. Is there a way to load all my bitmaps without going over the 31 limit?(is there any way aroung this?)

images, you can have a few million of them...that enough?
look em up in da help, you only use bitmaps for stuff you want to modify in realtime, use images for the rest.

Theres no way you could need 31 bitmaps, use images instead.

Just incase, I'll explain further.

For loading the images use load image(make sure you remember to set the texture flag to 1 otherwise the image is likely to get resized) then I'm guessing you know how to put images on the screen(either with sprites or paste image).

load image "myimg.bmp",1,1

Don't know how much of DB you know, so I'm not sure how to explain it anymore than that.

So what is actually the difference?
[Between]

load bitmap <file$>,<number>

and

load image <file$>,<number>,<texture flag>

One loads a bitmap, one loads an image.

Images can be used directly for sprites, or pasting to the screen, but you can do drawing operations on the bitmaps.
