Okay, I'm trying to like put a blinking cursor thing in the intro of my game but it leaves an afterimage after I draw over it. Here is the code. Tell me if I should do something different. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Void Intro()
{
int i;
For(i = 0; i

I guess its cos of the less than greater than operators being html tags.
Void Intro()
{
int i;
For(i = 0; i less than 5; i++)
{
Render();
RectFill(0, 0, screenx-1, screeny-1, 0);
GotoXY(100, 100); PrintString(rgb(0,0,0), "|");
Wait(150);
GotoXY(100, 100); PrintString(rgb(255,255,255), "|");
Wait(150);
ShowPage();
UpdateControls();
}
Exit("This has been a test");
}

Is this being executed in AutoExec?
There is no map to render at that point, so Render() does nothing. If you want to clear the screen, use RectFill(0,0,screenx-1,screeny-1,0); instead.

Yeah, I guess its being done in AutoExec...meaning that no map is loaded yet. So I took out the useless Render() and I'm already using RectFill(0, 0, screenx-1, screeny-1, 0); to clear the screen.
Okay, I feel stupid. I just realised that PrintString(); takes the form of PrintString(int font, string text) and not color, text. Sigh...

You can just use images instead, of use font subsets to get the colors you want. However, the way that was written it wouldn't display correctly anyways, unless Wait has a showpage inside it. Because as it's written, you're drawing the first, waiting, then drawing the second on top, then finally showing what you drew with showpage.
Also, that's probably not the best way to implement a cursor, because it will take the user 3 seconds after a keypress to finally move the cursor. Here's what I would do:
if(timer

Stupid boards... ;)
Lemmie try that again:
if(timer < 150) DrawFirstCursor();
else if(timer < 300) DrawSecondCursor();
else timer=0;
ShowPage();
that should work much better.

Actually, its not supposed to be a functioning cursor but thanks anyway.
Oh, and Wait does have a Showpage(); in it so I guess the one in the code I posted is kinda useless...
