Playfield is invisible

[satyrsfaction]

I'm just starting out in Batari Basic, and I decided to convert my initial attempt into DCP+ in order to have more sprites available. but now, the play field won't show up -- the player still collides with it, but it's invisible. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi mate, with DPC+ you will need to define the pfcolors: line-by-line. Or you can use this example code o change all the rows to a single colour

   DF4FRACINC = 0

   pfcolors:
   $86
end

With DPC+ you also need to set up the screen and have those settings updated every frame within the mainloop.

 DF0FRACINC = 16
 DF1FRACINC = 16
 DF2FRACINC = 16
 DF3FRACINC = 16

Here is the fix however you will need to define the other rooms and fix up some of your code. I will leave that to you for learning purposes 👍
