GET-PUT graphic statments

[qboy]

i am a newbie that wanted to put everything together that i learned. i decided to make a game. everything went good but i had one problem. my graphics came up slow because i was reading each of my 800 tiles from data and pixel by pixel puting them down. eventualy i got around to GETing the background pics and PUTing them down. it worked ok but i couldn't do that for the foreground (armies and towns) because i would ether erase the background or make it come up in reverse colors (not fun). you could still see the tiles being PUT on the screen but i decided that was ok.
i encounterd my secound problem when i tried to PUT tiles on top of them selfs to "dehighlight" them. this did not work at all, i got white lines between tiles, they came up in reverse color, or it didn't erase the highlight box.
i am new and do not know everything about QBasic, so i am open to other ways of doing things. i hope i didn't miss anything important.

thank you

Hi

It's been sometime since I worked with qbasic, but as far as I can remember I would have tried using the XOR option with put (graphics).

Do reply if this helped. Bye.

Please do correct me if I am wrong. s-)

what mode are you using in the put statment (pset, or, et cetera)?
