Just insert the following instruction immediately after the GET IMAGE command:

SET CURRENT BITMAP 0

Just before the WAIT KEY command, put this

SET SPRITE 1, 0, 1


Check out the sprite tutorial here : http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?f=dbpro_tutorials

Lol!! I made the same post the other day. Not saying you shouldn't have posted, all I am saying is that the book must contain an error due to both of us having the same poroblem at the same time, with the same example. I have had similar issues with having to copy and paste my code form one project to another to get it to work. A possible bug?

It's not really an error. The book was written specifically for DBC and works. There is just a little difference in how DBC and DBPro treat sprites.

DBC always renders sprites to the display bitmap, while DBPro renders sprites to the current bitmap. Simple

The issue with creating a new project seems to occur when you set a title to your project. Don't do it, and you'll be fine.
