I am trying to learn some basic commands but I am stuck on sprite exist. I have written a simple program to move a block across the screen when you click the mouse button. Then i also have on the screen stats showing the xpos,count,fps,and whether the sprite exist or not. With the first mouseclick the sprite exist shows a 1, then after the block is moved across screen ande deleted it show a 0. The part i don't understand is, when i click the mousebutton again it remakes the sprite but sprite exist still shows 0.

thanks for any help you can give me

Then you must be using DBClassic or maybe a buggy demo of DBPro - your code works OK for me.

Instead of deleting the sprite, move it off-screen to a silly coordinate, like x=-9999. You can then detect visibility like this

That explains it - DBLite is a version of DBClassic.
