You have to do LoadImage(1,"happy pea.png"). You need to make sure you all the letters are the same and make sure they are lower case as it says in the file.

The file itself is called "happy pea". There is no file extension. I'm not sure if AppGameKit needs an image to have an image file extension before it can load the image?

I would resave the image in an art package as a .png file, and make sure it has the correct file extension. e.g. "happy pea.png"

Then follow all of Midget Blasters advice in the post above

Hope that helps, let us know
