Okay, say I had an image I wanted to turn into a sprite, a character, in the the middle of a black background, and I imported said character into DarkBASIC and turned him into a sprite, yadayada, now, I have given the character the code to make him move down when I press downkey, up when I press up key, etc... Unfortunately the black square behind the character is still there. How do I get rid of that? I want it so that instead of seeing black behind my character, I want to see the image behind him (Landscape).

I have included an image of my downkey character in the attachment.

You would have to mask the image so it is transparent in back.

it should be transparent by default, are you sure the background is black? (r=0,g=0,b=0), close won`t do, it has to be pure black (nm , I will download your image and check)

5 mins pass

your background was grey, not black, I modded the image to make the background black (0,0,0), so this should work for you now, computers are literal minded beasts, when it says black, it means BLACK



[edit] heres some code to show it in action, I accidentaly removed a bit too much grey from the sprite so it has transparent bits in it, just paint them back in in dark grey to make it show properly
