I wrote the code exactly as you did, line for line, and it says expecting next. I have no idea where the error is and don't even really know what expecting next means. Can you help?

[amcadam26]

Expecting next normally means that you've missed a bracket somewhere. You'd need to send me your code for me to check it. You can download my code with the link in the clip info to compare.

I seem to be having an issue trying to fit this into a game as a background. Every time I try, it loads the game for a split second, then throws the star field right on top. I ended up using the "include" command because anytime I tried putting the whole code in it just kept saying Memory Access Violation. Any help? :/

I wrote the code on Blitz3D Demo Version the way you did but when I ran the program an error message popped up and said Memory Access Violation. Do you know what that means and how to fix it?

I've written both your space invaders and you star field program and they both work independent as they have been written. yet when i combine them they still work as they should only the screen doesn't display any text anymore..?

I'm not using blitz basic i programed all the text into Blitz 3D demo.

Could this be the problem?
