I tried displaying an image while loading all my globals, outside of the game loop, but the image won't display.
this is not because of the speed blitz loads the variables, i tried to delay it, and used waitkey. but the image won't display...why?

You probably missed a Flip command after drawing the image...

that worked.......but it doesn't make any sense...do i have to flip after each drawimage?

Doh @ me!!! sorry dont answer that....makes perfect sense
blitzplus..automatic backbuffering..

probably best to moderate the language, funtex. we have kids round here sometimes.

glad you sorted your problem, though.

sorry 'bout the language, should be sorted now! :D
