Have you set a graphics mode up first?

Is the pacman image in the root folder of where your program is saved?

Try:
image=LoadAnimImage("pacman_up.bmp", 50, 50, 0, 1)
DebugLog image

If the result is 0 then either Blitz cannot find the or the image file is invalid.

Another thing, your example above is using only 1 frame of animation. Is this right?

Also locate doesnt seem to work for me

Are you using BlitzPlus? If so the locate command has been removed.

See if this works:

Graphics 640,480
SetBuffer BackBuffer()
image=LoadAnimImage("pacman_up.bmp",50,50,0,4) ; <-4 frames of animation
MaskImage image,255,0,255
DrawImage image,100,100
Flip
WaitKey
End
