It's the n00b of DarkBASIC Classic again... Oki, for now I know how to make the bitmap loaded sprites (load bitmap "Bitmap.bmp"
and then make an image of them... I must be going at this the wrong way, but using this line of code:

[image routine]

sprite 1, 200, 10, 1

do
if 200=mousex() and 10=mousey()and mouseclick()=1 then print "Hello"
loop

end

Why not just use Load Image??

Apart from being back to front, that line refers to just one single solitary pixel on the screen!

Please look at the beginners tutorials. They will answer 99% of all your questions.

Tutorial 16 here for a start:

... and all the others if you get stuck on anything else!

Load the image
then detect an area: if mousex() is within the left side and right side of the sprite.
Alternatively just make another single pixel sprite to follow the mouse around and detect collisions.

If you've created a sprite for the button then detecting an area is pointless.

Using sprite collision (as described in the tutorial linked to above) means you don't have to know how many buttons there are - or where they are on the screen. They can even move about and it still works!

Just one line of code tells you which button has been clicked on without any If..Then lines testing the mouse position and regions.

oops sorry I got mixed up there, here's what I meant.

Load the image
You can either paste the image and then detect an area: if mousex() is within the left side and right side of the image.
Alternatively make a sprite with the image and make another single pixel sprite to follow the mouse around and detect collisions between the sprites.
