Hello,
I'm having trouble trying to have the image I want in the game and this is the command I put:

LoadImage(1,"redball.jpg") <---prints out (Error: Could not find images: redball.jpg,redball.jpg in main.agc at line 26)

if GetImageExists(1)=1

endif

And I know you have to put in the media folder, however when I do that it still doesn't work. Someone please help me and the steps in how to do it.
-Thanks for reading this!

Welcome

File names ar case sensitive, make sure you use the exact name.
Is the file "bytecode.byc" also in your media folder? If not, you are looking in the wrong place.

Does AppGameKit work with JPG files - I never knew that - well I haven't tried. I always thought they were PNG files

The way I call is:-

LoadImage(1,"\media\redball.jpg")

or
LoadImage(1,"media\redball.jpg")


If still an issue - then convert your JPGs to PNGs

Have fun with AppGameKit

If you want transparency then use PNGs.
If you want low-disk usage, use jpg with a little bit of compression (at the expense of quality).

Once loaded, they both take up exactly the same space in memory. So it's all about transparency, disk space and quality as to which you use.

I tried to follow both of your advice, however it still doesn't work. I honestly think I'm making a dumb mistake because it still says "error cannot find redball" (something like that)

It would also help if you showed us more of the code around the problem.

The project compiled fine here, and an image of a red ball showed up when the app was running. What platform are you running AGK2 on? Linux filesystem is case sensitive, and it seems to be optional on Mac whether or not to have a case sensitive filesystem, Windows is not case-sensitive.

EDIT: It does not seem like a case sensitive problem, in the code "redball.jpg" is all lower case, as is the "redball.jpg" filename.
