Ok, heres the deal, I want to make a tile-based game. as I sat down to draw each tile, pixel by pixel, I realized I could make a program in VB to make these tiles for me, since most of them use the same basic designs in each tile. so I started working on my new project(it was a lot better than hand drawing tiles), and I have all the functions I need implemented in it, so I went to code the save routine. no matter what I tried, I either got an error, or it saved a blank bitmap, and it is truely frustrating me. if anybody could help, please email me, or respond to this post so others can learn how to do this too, thanks in advance.
