this is annoying the bum off me, I had this little code bit that loaded an image, made a sprite and moved it about the screen, it was tutorial bit for a guy I am helping, first three times I ran it, it worked fine, then it all went pearshaped, when I run it I get a message on the lines of "unable to find image "image.bmp" " or "unable to load image on line 4" or it just crashes back to the editor, I have tried the following after reduceing the code to the minimum...
got another image to load
erased the project file
erased the program (dba) file
copied the program to word and then deleted the folders contents, remade the project and then pasted the text back into the editor and added another image (same name naturaly) to the folder
swore at the ide, the compiler, TGM, the monitor, the PC, anything else handy, threatened the PC with death
despite all these highly technical debug methods the program still won`t work, heres the whole code as I had it reduced to the minimum (does not work here still)
rem load damn you or I rip your freeking diodes out
load image "test.bmp",1
whats going on?, do I need a pump action shotgun to make my point?, any ideas about why things sometimes refuse to load, what do you do when this happens?, does this ever happen to you?, ANY idea welcome before I succumb to the urge to propel my PC out of the window and take up knitting.
Mentor.
