now that i'v actually had time to mess with it, i'v gotten pictures on the screen!
then i hit yet another snag.

For x=0 to 10
For y=0 to 10
a=32*x
b=32*y
Paste Image Map(x,y),a,b
Next y
Next x
Wait Key
End
i'm getting the 'image number illegal at line 41'.
line 41=Paste Image Map(x,y),a,b
now, i haven't changed that, but i did change For values. started with 3 for x and y, thought i'd check something out (randomize start at 0 or 1?)
i do have all the bmp's i'm loading (first time i'v used bmp with out talking about the russian APC in awhile). of the bitmaps, i'v seen oceans 0-2, plains 0-2, and barrens 0-2. but since none of them are being used, just ocean unless randomize starts at 1 (which this was suppose to test).
i'l mess with it a bit later, right now i'm going back to bed.
thanks again,

Today is a good day, at least compared to tomorrow.
And every day is a good day to die, because then, there is no tomorrow
