Hello

I have just relize that boolean is not compatable with DBC is this right as i have post a question and been play with this code below
all I am trying to do is move a bitmap around the screen as I would like to have a ship instead of the letter "a" if some can point me in the right direction or change the code soI can see what it should look like and then i can have a play with it.

Also I have notice some other commands are not compatale as I am a newbie to programing did I make the correct choic in DBC or hould i cot DBP?
Thx
Ian

For anything that is not a float or a string you can just use an integer instead.

Yes you can use integer.
What your variable will represent will depend on the way you treat it.
for example booleans:


and you've got pretty nice boolean

Not sure which code you mean. Show this code.

Quote: "stex error uknown command"

means that DB dont know the command STEX so maybe you've spelled something wrong

You get the error b/c ShowGraphic As Boolean isn't a command in DBC.

Destroy you with my mind, I could!
