Hi,
I have just been reading through "Beginners guide to DarkBASIC game programming" and I am having problems with creating a sprite from a bitmap and displaying it on screen.
Sorry if this post is a little lame I have only recently started using DarkBASIC.

Basically the first problem I am having is creating a sprite and displaying it on the screen. In the book I am reading through the code does not include "SET CURRENT BITMAP" but that is the only way I can get the screen to display the sprite I make. Is this the wrong thing to do?

In the second bit of code I am trying to display the same sprite from the source bitmap on screen with a background bitmap. If I use the code as it is, nothing is displayed on the screen. If I use "SET CURRENT BITMAP" then the only visible image is the background itself without the sprite on top. Basically I cant display the sprite over the background, its either one or the other.

Sorry that its a bit sad
but hey, I am a newbie. I am using DBPro so I am not sure if I have to write it a different way etc.
Also I have an old Voodoo III in the machine. I have looked at its display list and it says it can do this that and the other,. however I cannot run a DB project in 32 bit mode >.
