Background Colour has vanished!

[Ali]

Hi,

I wrote the following code and when I loaded the images as static
images my background displayed as black (set at start of code),
however, now I've started (trying!) to get my image to move, my
background has defaulted to white. Can anyone tell my why this is and
how to correct it?

Thanks very much,
Ali )

Hello

for drawing of images in the game, you have to use bltbit function. the new
image is just add to the previous image by using bits calculations. say the
new image white dots are not displayed at all. this is used for all games.

I have not been programming in java as of late. hence i cannot submit you
fill source code. but you will find it on the net.
