The screen in bitmap 0, when you use load bitmap it sets the active bitmap to the one loaded. In order to see anything you need to switch back to bitmap 0 either by
delete bitmap 1
or
set current bitmap 0

Unless you are loading a big image like a sprite sheet and using get image to break it up into smaller images there is no reason to use load bitmap then get image, just do.


you ain't the cops
