Hello guys.
I discoverd DarkGDK a few days ago, great API, like it more than i like SFML.
But, ofcourse, i got stuck. So i followed this youtube tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVLyQgzXKUg&feature=related
And I did everything in the first part, loading the sprite. But, all i get is a black window.
So this is the code: http://www.box.net/shared/qcq0cj5ji7
Can you people help me?
And, yes, I do have a player.bmp in my project folder.

Oh there's your problem! in your loop you have "dbSync;" I don't know why you didn't get a compiler error. void dbSync( void ) is a method. You should have "dbSync();" Your screen was not updating.

Btw, why not attach the file to your post?

Oh, and somebody else will probably tell you this if I don't.
Try to put as much info about your question in the title of the post as possible because that is all the search engine will access.

Oh thank you very much!
You saved me. I really dont get why the compiler didnt say it was an error.
I dont know why i didnt use attachments, i guess i just didnt remember.
And i will try to write more specific titles in the future.

One more thing. Could you maybe tell me, are these that im watching tutorials good? Is there anything better?

The tutorials you get with GDK are pretty good, they should be installed on your machine:

The Game Creators->Dark GDK->Tutorials

Gook luck.

I can explain why you didn't get a compiler error for missing the parentheses in dbSync(): because a function name, without the brackets and arguments, is a valid expression which returns the address of the function. You can use the address to make function pointers.

The compiler doesn't care whether you use the returned value of an expression or not. For example, if you write only the name of a variable in one line, that's valid too, even if it doesn't have any logical sense.
