hey well i'm pretty new to dark basic and i'm working on converting a one-player pong game into a "breakout" type game. Everytime i try to execute it however it says that the bitmap is too small to get image and then tells me it's the sync command that has the error. what does this mean and can someone help me?

I might have missed something, but why do you have a repeat with nothing in it?

until returnkey() or spacekey()

That just doesn't seem right to me...

Destroy you with my mind, I could!

It's because it is trying to get an image that is bigger than the bitmap.

it is this line (31) that is causeing the problem
get image (ie+boxx),x,y,x2,y2

Running the code with a display setting of 800x600 increases the screen bitmap to 800x600 and avoids the problem
You could also change the code so it doesn't try to grab an image bigger than the bitmap it is grabbing from.

What version of DB are you using? Not DBPro 5.1 that's certain.

Apart from that you are grabbing images from x coord 660 (22x30) so you need to change how you do it ... as you are using sprites, maybe you can grab half the width in the images, then stretch the sprites to double their sizes.
