    DirectDraw garbled my pic

    After deciding to make a game about 3 weeks ago, and doing alot of research on the best way to do 2d graphics, i finally settled on directdraw, the only problem is the dude on the screen is garbled but the background picture is fine. Im new to directdraw, just learned it today, so i don't know what the problem could be.

    ???

    Can you please explain a bit better what you were trying to do, and what's happening? And even better, post your project here so we can see it and fix it?

    I used a different way; instead of learning DX I just used a "plug-in" module with everything I needed to make DX look like BitBlt
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    If you are using fullscreen mode and you don't put like a black image blitted on the back of the screen, everything will be wierd black and pink and blue and green and white and just weird...

    Hi Jotaf98!

    That module that you described sounds cool . I can't figure DX out (or be bothered to ). Can you send me the module?

    My email is: [email protected]

    Thanx,
    Fleming .
    P.S.

    Sorry, I can't send it now - but you'll find it at http://www.planet-source-code.com (it's called DX Plug)
