I'm working on a 3d pong type game, and I got the basics down except for a simple computer AI. This is what I have so far, its in DBC:

rem -setup basics

Sorry about the random colors, I'm just testing out some lighting and fog effects. Another problem I'm having is that I want to use a texture for the matrix, but once I load a bitmap, get the image, and apply it to the matrix, the text in the upper left corner disappears. I tried using the command that brings 2d above 3d, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreiciated!

also u should look into changing the speed of the ball and computer based on difficulty settings

life's one big game
spec= 2ghz, 1gb ram, 512mb gpu, directx 9.0c, dbpro and classic

The Sync command simply updates the 3D screen - overwriting any 2D text on the screen.

Move the Text command lines to AFTER the Sync line.

I don't think that would help at all. Smallg's solution is the way to do it.

thanks smallg, I got it working now, and I got decent AI going. So now I face my next fundamental problem, which is winning. Right now I've added 2 sub routines that should exit the main loop, but for some reason when I print "Computer Wins" or "Player Wins" on screen, and then immediatly after place the wait key command, the text just flashes on the screen for a split second. Any suggestions for how I can make it stay on screen?

No, I used smallg's suggestion

Thankyou for helping though, I appreciate it. Unfortunatly, as far as my latest problem is conserned, yes, the text commands are outside of the sync, as well as the main loop all together.
