I'm stuck at this, please help me.
I want to paste a image on the screen if my player dies.and only after he presses enter the image to dissappear.

how can i do it? I tried dbShowSprite but it shows the image for 1 milisecond and I write this it waits for a key and then shows the image for 1 milisecond.

+ Code Snippet

	dbLoadImage ("life.JPG",loselife);
	dbPasteImage(loselife,0,0);
	dbWaitKey();
		dbHideSprite(loselife);

Forward Thanks

I've never had any luck using dbWaitKey(). Try something else like:

+ Code Snippet

	dbLoadImage ("life.JPG",loselife);
        while (dbScanCode()==0){
	  dbPasteImage(loselife,0,0);
          dbSync();
        }
        dbDeleteImage(loselife);

You didn't make a sprite for (loselife), so you don't need to hide it. I personally wouldn't load and delete an image that might have use multiple times in an application..... but to each his own. Also, I don't know if you declared the "loselife" variable with an initial value-- make sure you do that.

The fastest code is the code never written.

I'd also add a "dbCLS()" before dbPasteImage(). To clear the screen n stuff.
