You may be interested in trying out this little demo program I wrote. You can use it as a base if you like for building your game.

It won't run if you don't have Sparky's. You'll need to install this plugin :
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=31051&b=5
The help files tell you how to install it.
