Hello

Try with

Code: Select all

@BRUSH 1, "terminal_hilight.png", {LoadAlpha = True}

Here's a piece of reference code with some questions in comments: @VERSION 8,0 @DISPLAY{WIDTH = 1280, HEIGHT = 720, MODE = "WINDOWED", TITLE = "The Beckoning Test", COLOR = #BLACK} ; *** VARIABLES *** ;------------------ Stage = 0 ;--------------------------------------------------------------------...
