When I make something like "print "hello world"", I run it and the screen begins to flash. What's the problem?

Who knows? This problem seems to be popping up all over the place. Try putting this:

SYNC ON
SYNC RATE 60

at the top of your code, then in your main loop include a SYNC. That should help.

That's what they WANT you to think...

The issue you experienced is because by default Dark BASIC just redraws the screen whenever it thinks it might be appropiate. This can be handy but for games it's pretty outright useless.
