The size of your images must be in powers of 2, or else they will become distorted when being used as sprites. What sizes are your images?

Another thing to remember is that DarkBasic Pro is bugged if you compile your game for "Windowed - Fullscreen" and your desktop resolution doesn't match the screen resolution in your game.

This is a MORE than retarded bug that's followed DBPro since day one and it's still not fixed. The only way around it is to compile your game for "Fullscreen Exclusive Mode".

Or, you could write a loader that reads an ini file and changes the resolution of the desktop to the game resolution before it starts the game, then when the game exits, returns the resolution of the desktop to the original resolution. I actually did this in VB for my games, since they haven't fixed it in DBPro yet.

PS...FIX THIS ALREADY!
