I have looked at some screen shots and this looks good - but I first want to make a very very very simple puzzle game.

However - I want this to appear in a window, but my first dalliances with db make this seem impossible. Is this possible? Is this easy?

Thanks for your help

Tom

Just draw a window in a drawing program (paint, photoshop, paint shop pro, ext.) Ecual to your screen res (ex. 800 * 600) Put it in a BMP. Load the picture in you program. And paste it.

If you have DB Classic version 1.13 or DBPro, there are window commands to let you do this. This example will create a window that is 320X200 pixels in size, and has the caption "Test"



The window commands are in the system commands section of the help files.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

set window size 320, 200 doesn't really work on DBpro.

Use
SET DISPLAY MODE Width, Height, Depth

So...
SET DISPLAY MODE 800, 600, 32
set window title "Test"
set window on
Print "hello"
sleep 5000

Brilliant - thanks for the clarification and help guys. I checked the help files but must have completely overlooked it. Idiot!

Thanks again
Tom
