Sorry I screwed so many things up, Wurst. Like I said, this is the very first time I've ever coded anything at all in Blitz. As in, day #1, program #1. I thought this was a newbs area so it would be OK. :-) I apologize for being green, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? And I'm at the very beginning of the learning process.
Still, thanks for the help and taking the time to post. I will try your revisions a little later and appreciate the effort. I thought a turn based game would be a good project to dig into, especially since I can take it in steps. I can try to perfect a world map first, then scrolling around on the map, constructing buildings, unit creation, etc. and take them all as small, seperate exercises. Later, when I'm ready to put all those pieces together, I'll already have working code to go from. Then I'll be ready for something fast paced, maybe upgrade the first game to 3D...and so on.
Sounded like a pretty good plan to me anyway. :-)
Thanks again.
