To whom it may concern,
I'm trying to do a pacman simulation and I'm having trouble with my sprite and bitmap background. My sprite erases the background as it moves using the arrow keys. I cannot get the sprite to be transparent so that the maze isn't chomped away as it moves. How would I fix this? here is the source code...

The source doesn't work for people in a newbie slap. It's best to use code snips.

Your code here.
[ /code ]

Just remove the spaces between the brakets and it'll do this:


This sounds kinda weird. Sprites naturally replace the background as they move... unless the default setting for the sprite is changed with the "set sprite" command. Without seeing code it's hard to say what's going on.

To get a sprites background to be transparent use black as the background and don't use .jpg... jpgs change the colors... use .bmp.

trying to do pellets for the pacman maze and want to know the best way to go about creating them? Should I use box statement or point statement?
