I want to know if I\'m handling the bitmaps correctly. My theory is that you load the background bitmap and the player bitmap before the main game loop and draw it out. When the process hits the main game loop if a change occurs then you redraw everything and by using the sync command after the cls command you don\'t have the flicker problem. It took me a while to understand this concept but I think my code is solid now. Any critiques would be very welcome.
