Ok, im trying to write a snake game for my computing project. This is my first time using DB and just about have everything working. My only real problem is that the bitmaps dont seem to be working properly/ i cant understand them. What is supposed to be a white background simply doesnt load, leaving me with a blue background for the game instead. This in itself isnt much of a problem except that when I try to print text onto the screen during the game loop it simply fails to appear, as it appears to be being drawn somewhere else. This problem was partially sorted with the "copy to bitmap" command, but is still causing problems. I'm aware the code is a bit of a mess and contains lots of strange unnecessary stuff but any help would be appreciated. Thank u.
Have attempted to attach all related media as well, and also some which isnt really necessary, sry

It sounds like you have Pro (the blue screen).

Goto this page and scroll down to "Sprites and the Blue Background":

ok, hope that works, should be code. I havent got a sync in anywhere at the moment, when i had one it seems to solve the problem of it not loading my background, but also causes the programme to just stop when it hits the sync on command... :S
