The problem with your code there is that it has nothing to keep the program running. DB goes through the commands in order and does them, and if there aren't any more commands it'll end the program.

A command like WAIT KEY will force it to wait, or you could make a loop it will stay in:
DO
LOOP

You graphics look very good. You seem to be pretty new to this, so you should check out the Tutorials Thread at the top of this board to learn the basics before you try to make a game (I hear TDK's are good: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=99497&b=10)

If you had a little more than just loading music and changing the window size I'd post some code. But since you didn't you really need to do what BMacZero says and check out TDKs tutorials.

If we write all your code for you then you're not actually learning anything.

Try this



Darkbasic is really really simple actually (compared to other programming languages). Check out the Tutorials found through out the forums. The Help file (Start DBPro and click Help and click DarkBasic Professional Help) is Ok not the greatest. Best to go through the Commands or Index and go to each statement.

Take care

That code won't work, you're loading and replaying the music every loop

to make the logo flash you'll need a dark logo and a bright logo the using a timer swicth between the images.

might work (not tested)

Or in case he have darklogo and brightlogo images he can make animated sprite and play it instead of all this complicated hard coded flashy logo???He can make transitions as fast and smooth as he want.And also he can make the shake effect like this too.Just need to reposition the text in diferent frames so it shakes.
