well your plain could be used but you have to set your camera and position it to have your plain fill the screen(camera view)

or you could paste an image to the screen
the image would have to be the size of your screen

or you could sprite an image to the screen and scale your sprite to fill the screen

there may be other ways, but I don’t know them

the choice is yours

My advice is free -
unfortunately you get what you pay for (-:

Bitmap 0 is the screen

SET CURRENT BITMAP 0
LOAD BITMAP...

or

LOAD IMAGE "backdrop.jpg",1
SPRITE 1,1,1,1

oh and another thing.....

having trouble with this image....
I am trying to create a plain and texture it with this image....
but the position object command aint moving it....the object stays at the top left corner...



the jpg is only 256x256

the position object doesnt make sense to me.....0,0 is center...but 3,3 or more is in the corners......

the display is set to 800x600 and windowed....
i want the image in the top right corner....any ideas?

Your plain is being positioned in 3D Space, not 2D Screen space. So...

1,1,0 is not the top left of your screen, it just off-centre of the 3D space.

Stick to sprites, unless your comfortable with positioning the object correctly in 3D space, then locking it to the screen.
