Hi, I'm back after a long time, I didn't have the time to continue trying to learn DB, but I decided to have another crack at it, but I've forgotton stuff.
Basically I'm trying to create the most simple game possible, Pong! Already after a couple of lines of code I'm having problems.
The bat which is drawn as a box, appears on the screen perfectly, but when I attempt to redraw it when the left key is pressed (For movement purposes) it just creates a long box along the movement path.
I tried dbCLS() inside the main loop, but that just prevents the box from being displayed at all.
Cheers
