What is wrong, is that you are loading the bmp into bitmap 1, so you can't see it since you can only see bitmap 0. It thinks you are using bitmap 0 when you only use load bitmap "blah.bmp" without the number. If you want the bmp file to be like the player in your game, you should use load image instead.

Also you can still leave it at bitmap 1 if you add the line "set current bitmap 0". Multiple bitmaps allow us to work on graphics without the user of the program seeing any changes.

No, but you could code it:

It is not tested, and I don't think the mouseclick() thingy is right. Check in the help for something like that.

Exactly what UFO said but if you are using a full scale menu you would want to do it this way to save reduandant checks




This way you save the amount of times you use the MouseX(),MouseY() and MouseClick() function. You do this because everytime you run that function darkbasic checks windows for the mouseclick, this is slower than just storing it in a variable and then referancing it over and over.


around here.. normal's just a setting on a hair dryer

If you don't use "sync on" then it will automatically sync anytime something it drawn to the screen (be it sprite, line, box, text, or whatever).
