Here's Xor definition: This draws the picture XORing it with the background. In DOS, you can use this function to do animation. Drawing an object on top of itself with XOR erases it and restores the background. So I guess since you're moving your object, it will not get erased compleatly. I sujest using PicMerge mod for Pic.Drew instead it as it just discards white and makes image transparent. Then just redraw the whole scene/screen OR you can try making cursor image borber larger to cover more area an hopefully erase while you move. Post if that works. |

well, if u want to know, there is also another way, although it does require some work. If you have a background, you can sorta draw over the smeared areas. For example if your background is red, i would draw a red box that will cover the smearing, which in turn will make your game look more....lets say...authentic, lol |
