i have gotten the trial version of DBP. i am trying to make a game so my mom will get me the full version. the problem is that whenever i load the bitmap i cant see it yet i know it is there because if i load the bitmap before i print then the bitmap hides the text. what am i doing wrong?

until you don't have to wait for you post to apear source codes won't work.

try:
(code)[click the code button above]
write your code
(/code)[click the code button again

and you have a code snipett, it'll look like this

+ Code Snippet

do
print "Hello world"
loop

-"I'm over twice as strong as I was when we last met"-
-"Good, Twice the fall, double the glory"-

Woah talk about pressure.

You could try what I did when I was a kid. My mom wasn't really into games until I taught her to play Ultima 7... ever since then she's been buying RPGs for herself (of course she lets me borrow them

). Maybe you could teach her a little about programming... teach her to make her own stuff and Darkbasic Pro is in the bag.

Or you can make a program "for her"... i've made so many programs for my mom I can't count them all (Quickbasic).

Time Splitter is right. If you don't put it in the message we'll never see it in time to help you.

ok there is no code but i'll try to help so you don't have to wait for your new post to show up, I know you said you're trying to load a bitmap but you can load a bitmap as load image or load bitmap try this:

+ Code Snippet

``the following will load an image: load image "image",image #
load image "your_image.bmp",1
``make your main loop
do
``make your image a sprite and show up on the screen
``SPRITE Sprite Number, XPos, YPos, Image Number
sprite 1,screen width()/2,screen height()/2,1
loop

make sure you save your project in the same directory you have your image and this code will display your image in the center of the screen.

read this post all the way through there are some good begining tutorials:

hope this helps!!!

figured out a way to shoot bullets

.
is there a way for the bullet to not follow me
i am only going to post the code that is important.

+ Code Snippet

b#=1000
sync on
do
cls
sprite 10,xpos#+b#,ypos#,10<======= bullet
if spacekey()=1 then b#=0
inc b#,2
sync
loop

that is just the important parts
if someone know a better way i am all ears for it.
