I needed something to do to get into coding in BlitzMax so I figured I would write yet another space invaders clone. It was all going well till I get to the bit where I have to apply damage to the shields when a bullet or bomb hits them.
Each shield is a TImage. Im probably being a div but I cant see how I can delete a group of pixels from the shield image. Initially I just thought I would have a small explosion bitmap and I could just remove my explosion image from my shield image. But looking through the help I cant see how I can do it.
So.. please.. can someone explain to me how I am supposed to achieve what Im after ?
Thanx
