questions on graphics, etc.

Well, I was wondering what command I would use to set a specific color
(ie. bright neon purple, [lol]) as a transparent color when I load images. Like for example, I load a picture of an isometric tile, but the background of the tile is bright purple. How do I make it so the bright purple DOESNT show up when I load it into my program??

Also...(im new), how do I get my program to continue go through a [loop?] to an unlimited amount of times? (My program needs to redraw like 4000 background tiles, a game border, and a sprite.) Like, how do I make it so it continues redrawing these all? This leads into the next question.

How do I get it so if the user presses (the UP_ARROW key), it saves it under a variable called "key". Then

code:

if key==(KEY_UP_ARROW) { y=y+3 else if key==(KEY_DOWN_ARROW) y=y-3 }

(Sorry if the code is wrong).

If you anyone could help me with these, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!

code:

while (true) { }

Now...am I suppose to put ALL my code, including classes, and public voids all in the while loop? (ps-> tx)

i'm preaty sure that you don't put your public voids in the loop

the loop is just suppost to be your program's driver

[DanShadow]

then do I include the public voids as methods (ie. drawTile() inside the loop?

[Tony]

yes
