I made this little program to incorporate what ive learned from a tutorial, but the program still flickers, even with View.Update in place. Correct any noobish mistake i made.

code:
setscreen ("graphics: 300; 300, position: center; center, title: The Dot, nobuttonbar")
var x, y, button : int
var font : int
font := Font.New ("sans serif:12:bold")



loop
    Font.Draw ("You can move the dot around...", 25, 250, font, red)
    Mouse.Where (x, y, button)
    Text.Locate (1, 1)
    Draw.FillOval (x, y, 10, 10, black)
    View.Update
    delay (25)
    cls
end loop

You need to add a "View.Set("offscreenonly") to it.

Or, just incorporate that into your "setscreen".

No problem, good luck with the game.

There is nothing wrong with noobish mistakes, though this question can be found in the turing FAQ Razz.

it is where we all started (well, most of us. Some people are just born to program), and you dont have to be sorry about it. just keep taking your clases, and visit ths site often. oh, and take a look at this.
