hey guys cant figure out how to tile a 1 image background. should i draw 2 of the same and put after the other or is there a better way. im sure single image bg's are probably not the best but just for practice. thanks

Below is some code that draws rectangles on the screen so it fits the screen.

Replace the drawrect with your drawimage and load an image.

the step is the width and height of the image. DeviceWidth is the width of the monkey screen. For is a loop.

Import mojo

Class MyGame Extends App

    Method OnCreate()
        SetUpdateRate(60)
    End Method
    Method OnUpdate()        
    End Method
    Method OnRender()
        Cls 0,0,0 
        SetColor 255,255,255
        For Local y:=0 to DeviceHeight Step 64
        For Local x:=0 to DeviceWidth Step 64
			DrawRect x,y,32,32
        Next
        Next
    End Method
End Class


Function Main()
    New MyGame()
End Function

Mojo has no tiling feature, at least I don't know of any. So the only solution imho is to draw it as many times you need to.
