I'm in the middle of writing a side shooter to teach myself the basics and in my opening screen I have in green letters the words SPACE SHOOTER(original,no?) with "stars"(white dots) going by in the background and the sprite I'm using for the main character going sideways.I'm just telling you this in case it makes a difference with my problem.My problem is that under the sprite moving sideways is the words "Press S to Start". But the words are flashing like in those arcade games where it says "2 more credits". This is the code I'm using for this
x = x + 1
if x = 2 then center text 300,230,"Press S To Start"
if x = 2 then x = 0 : x2 = 0
x2 = x2 + 1
if x2 = 20 then center text 300,320," "
if x2 = 20 then x2 = 0 : x = 0
sync
This code is in a loop that goes until you press S.The code's easy to understand.It adds 1 to X every time the loop plays and when X is 2 it Prints the message and when X2 is 2 it erases it.My problem is that it blinks too fast.I tried playing around with the sync rate and it doesn't help.I also tried changing the values of X and X2 that it prints/erases the message at but that didn't work either.Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong!?
