DBC or DBP?

Would be load image command for DBP instead of load bitmap for sprites.

When you load a bitmap, it becomes the active bitmap. So bitmap 1 is active after loading both of them.

The screen is always bitmap 0, but because you never reset it after loading bitmap 1, it's not getting updated. Your code should look like this:



Alternatively, once you have created your image, you can delete bitmap 1. The current bitmap will automatically revert back to 0.
