Ok I give up

I have tride to create my own image and load it but in dark gdk. I have been using mspaint. Is there a reason that I can't use mspaint? I see I don't get the same icon on the project list of images. So what is the proper way to create your own image.

make sure when you load image that you include the full name i.e. "myimage.bmp" in the command also make sure the image is in the same folder as your project

// Dark GDK - The Game Creators - www.thegamecreators.com

// the wizard has created a very simple project that uses Dark GDK
// it contains the basic code for a GDK application

// whenever using Dark GDK you must ensure you include the header file
#include "DarkGDK.h"

// the main entry point for the application is this function
void DarkGDK ( void )
{
// turn on sync rate and set maximum rate to 60 fps
dbSyncOn ( );
dbSyncRate ( 60 );
dbloadbitmap ("red.bmp",1);

// our main loop
while ( LoopGDK ( ) );
{
// update the screen
dbSync ( );
}

// return back to windows
return;
}

This is the simple code that I have and when I try to build I get

1>Main.cpp
1>c:\visual_c++\load_bitmap\load_bitmap\main.cpp(16) : error C3861: 'dbloadbitmap': identifier not found

Make sure that you save it as a 24-bit BMP/DIB. When you load the image for use as anything other than a texture with mip-maps...use the overloaded dbLoadImage that accepts a flag, and give it a value of 1:

void dbLoadImage ( char* szFilename, int iImage, int iFlag )

dbloadbitmap vs dbLoadBitmap
It is case sensitive.

error C3861: 'dbloadbitmap': identifier not found
says that there is something wrong with the word dbloadbitmap not the image file.

Thanks that was it. Keen eye. I feel like I am back working on the Vic 20 learning new Keywords. Do you by chance know if I can still get Dark GDK.net. I dont find it on the web site.

Thanks again
