Hi, i looked in the workshops and couldnt find anything on this, when i start my program it comes up as a black screen with nothing on it at all. When i close it it just doesnt do anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

What do you start? Your Game or the SED, WED, MED?

If you start the Game, what does the acklog.txt say?

considering i use the free version i use the test run option, and it doesnt have any run-time errors, it just comes up with a black screen.

Did you try a demo of someone else,
does this also show up black?

all of my other programs work fine, and this one does untill i get so far. I dont have any idea whats going on.

I think whats causing it is my TEXTs heres my code, can anyone find a problem with it?

function quit_program()

while (key_any) { wait (1); }
sys_exit(NULL);
}

It LOOKS ok, but try it with
string (header_str); and string (maingame_str);
instead of the "string =" format.

And maybe change your sys_exit to be sys_exit("");

nope, still doesnt work. I thought maybe something wasnt installed correctly and so i reinstalled it, but that didnt work either. I've tried programming it a little differently, and that doesnt help, yet all my other programs work fine. So i dont know.
