I will have to play with the code when I get home (in about 45 minutes). I can tell you why it's happening. Basically the backdrop is kicking on when you create 3d objects (which includes sprites, as dbpro uses 3d plains to create 2d sprites). It's 9the backdrop's) default color is blue. You can try coloring the backdrop to that of the background (ie. black) by using color backdrop rgb(0,0,0). Try to see if that helps.

If not you can try turning the backdrop off. Though in order for the backdrop to 'stay off' you would have to replace the sprite commands with either paste sprite, or move sprite. As the sprite command is actually 'creating' the sprite, and will kick the backdrop on.

The final reason for the flickering is the multiple syncs throughout the loop. It's best to have one and only one sync at the end, but I know that it can cause problem with print statements. Usually print statements force you to use multiple syncs or else they don't show up. So I will have to play with the code a bit, to try to get things in a better order if possible.

Here's the fixed code. Basically I added the color backdrop rgb(0,0,0) and got rid of a few unecessary syncs. I also moved the cls to the beginning of the loop.



There are still 2 other problems that need to be addressed. One is the repeat... until loop in your firing code. By coding it inside it's own loop you are stalling the main loop from running. Meaning that when you fire a bullet, no other action/processing takes place until the bullet reaches it's limit. You have to take that loop out of the mix, and just keep track of variable values to position the bullet during each pass through the main loop. Then reset the position. I'll code something up for you

Second issue has to do with rotation of the sprite. I haven't looked at the code for that part yet, but it causes the program to crash.

thank you and i fixed up the shooting as best as i could. the repeat until was only a temp solution for me but thanks for helping. A problem is (with old code) i couldnt move the sprite forward with move sprite command.

edit: Flashing stopped yay. it was starting to give me a head ache. thanks and see if you understand the move sprite command.
