Importing a picture

[SunsFan13]

Hey guys, I've got no idea how to do this..
I'd like to import a picture I've made (as a title page kinda deal), then have the user press any key to continue on to the game.
Someone help me with this?

Thanks,
Chris

loop
Pic.ScreenLoad ("picname.jpg", 125, 40, picCopy)
exit when hasch
end loop
**GAME CODE**

-make sure that the picture is in the same folder as the program

code:

var PicID : int var Pauser : char PicID := Pic.FileNew ("filename.fileype") Pic.Draw (PicID, 1, 1, picCopy) Pauser := getchar

this way is better than the above because there is no unessecary looping and your not loading a sprite over and over again,

the one i posted is easier for people just getting into programming

I agree with tallguy. his is a lot easier to use. if you dont want to use the user input, then just use the Pic.ScreenLoad (............) and a delay (time).

However the one that he is using, is constantly re-drawing the same image over and over again. Just doing it once is fine enough.

Turing:

var PicID : int := Pic.FileNew ("Picture.extension") Pic.Draw (PicID, 50,50, picCopy)

One picture drawn, not continueous, and not asking for user input.

[Tallguy]

yes, but you need to procede once 'hasch', so a loop is needed

turing is srs bzns

code:

var PicID : int := Pic.FileNew ("Picture.extension") Pic.Draw (PicID, 50,50, picCopy) loop     exit when hasch end loop

NOTE HOW THE PICTURE BEING DRAWN ISNT IN THE LOOP. I KNOW IT'S A HARD CONCEPT BUT PLEASE BEAR WITH US.

As for "easier for people starting programing"

it is probably better to teach them the right way first to avoid picking up bad coding habits
