Inside the found Questions at last.

Thats happening because you are using the command LoadBitmap after you
have called the command BLITZ in your souce. Perhaps not actually after it
in terms of source code, but in terma of the instructions executed.

You can still use LoadBitmap, but you'll probably need to open a screen
and window then blitz the bitmap to the window.

Decide whether you want to use hardware bangin commands or OS stuff. Make
crappy example graphics. Make a simple program that show shapes on a
screen or display (OS display or hardware display). work out a way of
getting input. work out a way of upadting positions of player and enemy
craft. update positions. repeat until player dies. ;)
> Why is the blitz maual so lame !
Because a programmer who was deeply rooted in 68k asm wrote it.

Makes a welcome change, eh Chris? ;)
