If you mean clear it off the screen, use "dbCls" (I think that's the command.... not at my pc now).

The fastest code is the code never written.

Ok thanks Hawkblood!
*EDIT* For anyone using this the correct code is "dbCLS" with the CLS capitalized.

I thought if you would use dbSync(); in the loop. And if you call it to draw circles and dots, not calling it would be not rendering.



...and set mayRender to 0 if you dont want to draw it.

Anyway, thats what i think, but never used 2ddraw commands really...

Ya the only reason I'm doing it is because I'm making a completely internal game so I don't have to do the media export stuff. Well anyway your saying that if I use that command all I would have to do is say it's "0" and the images would be deleted? I thought that after you draw that it stays, and if it's "0" it just wouldn't let me draw anymore.

dbSync() swaps the back buffer with the front one, the one displayed on the screen. All 2d and 3d drawing commands are drawn the the back buffer. By default using 3d commands clears the back buffer. When just using 2d you have to use dbCLS() to clear the back buffer. Once you're done with all your drawing command then swap the buffer so it shows to the screen using dbSync().
