[TOMMYfromPALLETtown]

it says wend without while what is that?

[amcadam26]

@TOMMYfromPALLETtown a wend command usually follows a while command. Eg.

while true do something

wend

wend means "while end", its simply shows the end point of the while loop. A while loop will keep looping round until the while statement is false.

it always says "image does not exist" o.O i even downloaded your codes but it wont work....

[amcadam26]

@DJStreetBeatz make sure that you save the code into the same folder as the image file before you try to run it. Blitz will look for images in the program folder unless you tell it otherwise.

great video subscribed.

[TheShahzeab]

i downloaded your file for this but its different im really struggling could you give me a file that got the same code as that?

[StickRunHackz]

you need to replace next with wend



[MrTheflashback]

I got a problem.. I tried running the program after repeating every step in this and the previous video, I got this message from the program 'Expecting Expression' why this stuff tends to happen?

[Darrengb]

Very well done

[jkurtzman1]

Whenever i run it it says:

Type b not found.

[pufixas]

YOU DONT EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT EVERY COMMAND MEANS!!! What does "each" mean?

[Broly17]

Awesome, I have it all working except one little problem. When it deletes b after it goes off the screen, i get an error message saying image doesn't exist.

[TheMessi10ever]

cool ;)

@igooog yeah, the thing I love about Blitz is how simple it is to get something complicated to work. You cna open a new window and display an image in just a few lines of simple code. Much easier than C++ or Java.
