yes it uses OOP on bmp files only ( I havn't learnt how to do other formats yet, there on my list of things to figure out)

it uses a string to id individual bitmaps and you call it's sub\functions

there are a total of 6 subs and 2 functions

I'll include an example code to better explain it

Hrothgar! I was wondering what kind of graphic routines you were using for your game? is it just a simple PUT sequence or did you write some codes or what-not?

honestly I've never had a need for any thing to be done after my codes exit, so I'll try to come up with an explanation based on what I've observed in a lot of the demos I've played over the years in a lot of the older dos based games (DOOM for example) those ad screens were done in text mode (scree...

I'm assuming that your using a for loop to go through the list of characters. something like: for i = 0 to 4 char(i).dostuff 'what ever your code is? next instead do a nested for loop inside and have it look for characters speed stat for i = 0 to 4 for i2= 0 to 4 if char(i2).speed = i then 'your tur...

I'd try dimentioning a screenbuffer, put the graphics in the buffer, then use the put command to place it on the screen, thus eliminating flicker

I remember seeing a tutorial in this site that explains how to do that, but i don't know about using get or put in the buffer :P
