Okay, I'm playing around with DB Pro now, went through some tutorials and trying to replicate a tutorial EXACTLY.

I have started a new project, and in that project folder inside of the DBPro folder I have created a media folder and put in my two PNG files.

It won't execute tho, and keep highlighting different lines as having errors, but I have checked and rechecked all the code and everything looks good to me. I have also checked the media file names and placement and everything looks good.

I'm hoping someone can check my code out here and go AH HA and show me where I am messing up.

You'll need to post the error messages. From what you have posted so far:

1. Have you saved the project (i.e have a dbpro file?)
2. Is 1024x768x32 a valid resolution?

Error reads as
"Could not create C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional\Projects\Space Blast\Application.exe"

And also on the warning tab I get:
" No icon is specified for the final exe "

Is this because it's the free version and I need to run it a different way perhaps?

And the resolution should be fine as it is what my computer is set to right now.

I made a working version using your same code.
To compile, you must open the DBPRO file, not the DBA file.
Download it and let me know whether it works.

It sounds like windows is preventing dbp from creating the exe. Try putting your project in "C:\" instead of "Program Files"

I dunno.

Thanks for all your responses. I simply decided to delete all the stupid tmp files DBPro was making in the project folder, gave my computer a reboot, and loaded up the same code (after saving before the reboot)... and all is good again.

Sometimes I guess even computers need to "reset" or "clear their heads" hehe.

No, I'm sure it was something stupid now that I think about it. Perhaps another DarkBasic project was running in the background that I didn't see in the task bar or something like that.. that maybe got cleared out when I rebooted my computer.

(shrugs)

Anyhow, thanks for the replies here.

One thing that I am LOVING about DarkBasic already is the overly friendly community here. I'm gonna put some money (and effort) into DarkBasic and it will likely be as much or perhaps more for the people HERE then the DarkBasic tools. I can find "tools" anywhere. {grin}

Anyhow thanks people.
