How do I make A sprite? Do I create it from an image? I have some images I need to turn into sprites.

That's how :
You load the image and you turn it into a sprite with these commands :

And don't forget to put

at the end of your program

When loading/getting images for sprites, it might be a good idea to set the optional Texture Flag at the end to 1

Load Image <filename>, <image number>, <texture flag>
Get Image <image number>, left, top, right, bottom, <texture flag>

...otherwise your sprites might come out a bit blury and the wrong size.

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.

Wait a minute... Damakoles, why do you have to delete them at the end of the program? I'm a newb, but I thought that DB handles memory clean up at the end.

Thanks!

You still have to delete you memory, DB doesn't handle it for you. I think it's more a winxp handleing then DB you can crash a win 98 or me computer by not clearing the memory you use before you exit. You can create a program that uses alot of memory items and run it repeatly over and over, and watch the system resources drop. So, it's a good idea to do proper clean up at the end of the program.

RGT may be gone but the best DBP forum is still alive and kicking, check it out.

The key to that is to disable the escape key and then capture it via its scancode. Then, you can call your clean up code and exit the program.
