Hello,

I'm trying to get text on top of a background image,
the idea is a computer with terminal as background and that text would appear on the terminal. At a later stage i want it to interact with the user, like getting his name, location etc.
But first it needs to say hello
This is my code so far:

What am i doing wrong is there a tutorial for it? i could not find one. thanks in advance!

First off, display mode 1366,768,32 is not supported on my computer. I had to change it to 1154,768,32 to get it to work. You might want to change it to a more common mode.

Secondly, you need to use the command SET CURRENT BITMAP 0 just after the COPY BITMAP 11,0 line.

So many games to code.......so little time.

Yeah it is better to use LOAD IMAGE and PASTE IMAGE but don't use .jpgs... they tend to change solid colors to different shades. It's better to use .png so that it keeps colors exactly the way you want them and allows you to use semi-transparent colors (where you can see through them).

Thank you very much for the tips, load and paste image works fine and also the .png works smoother!
I use the 1366 display resolution cause it is the native resolution on my m11x laptop. In a later stage I'll try to code how to grab the resolution on a computer where the game is running on.
First I have to learn how to replace text with new text, back to the tuts!
