Hello, I am trying to load a bitmap, set it as current and copy parts of it into images, but for some reason I don't get anything on the screen. I am able to load images directly and draw them though.

This is what I am trying to do:

+ Code Snippet

		public static void GameLoop()
		{
            DarkGDK.Basic2D.Bitmap bmp;
            DarkGDK.Basic2D.Image myimage;

            DarkGDK.Core.SyncOn();
			DarkGDK.Core.SyncRate(60);
		
			DarkGDK.IO.File.SetCurrentDirectory("../../../Media");
            
            bmp = new DarkGDK.Basic2D.Bitmap("hellosprite.png");
            bmp.SetCurrent();
            myimage = new DarkGDK.Basic2D.Image(0, 0, 500, 500);

			while (DarkGDK.Engine.LoopGDK)
			{
                myimage.Paste(10, 10, false);
				
				DarkGDK.Core.Sync();
			}
		}

Does anybody have an idea what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance

I'm not entirely sure, as I don't know GDK.Net very well; but from a DBP point of view it doesn't look like you are switching the current bitmap back to Bitmap 0 (The one displayed on screen) before you start pasting the images.

=PRoF=, Thank you so much for your post. You were right with your assumption. I must have misunderstood something conceptually here.

Thanks again.
