I'm having some issues here getting anything to display. I worked on this while I was at work just using notepad and had no compiler, thought it all looked decent but when I start it up just get a black screen and a non-responsive window. Can anyone take a quick scan and maybe give a few pointers?


#include "DarkGDK.h"

bool mouseFullClick(int &, int &);//mouseclick function prototype
bool onSprite(int, int, int);

const int NUM_GUESS = 10;//constant value for the array
const int REFRESH_RATE = 60;
const int TRIANGLE_IMAGE = 1;
const int SQUARE_IMAGE = 2;

You should only call dbSyncOn() once (or if you need to switch from sync on / off and back again); what you probably meant to put in your main loop is dbSync(). This will render the scene and present it to the screen. You don't have to, but you probably want to issue the sync call after you've done all visual movements / etc. updates in the loop cycle too, or what you'll see will always be one frame after the actual state of the game.

Also, use the [ code ] [ /code ] tags to get your pasted code to have proper intendation; makes it much easier to read.
