set background color

[noah]

Is there a way to set a "background color" that appears behind sprites? Currently behind my spitear is white but is there a way to set that to black? I didn't see anything in the reference.
... thanks in advance, noah

Actually, it does say in the reference http://gamebuino.com/wiki/index.php?tit ... y.setColor

So you do gb.display.setColor(FORGROUND_COLOR,BACKGROUND_COLOR);

e.g.: gb.display.setColor(WHITE,BLACK);

Hooow embarrasing
Thanks

Actually, I don't think this does what I want it to do. This sets the background color when you draw a circle, square or whatever, but I want the whole of the screen to be black but to have the sprites overlaid. I'm not sure how to make this clearer, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Thanks, noah

Just draw a black rectangle over the entire screen as the first thing to do

if you make your background bitmap colored in black and white on the get go or use the tilemap editor you can design terrain sprites of any color as long as they are black and white and the background color should be what you want. I had a problem with this too in the beginning, all my background sprites were floor colored black so I just saved my sprites using mspaint to kill the transparency and they look good now.

setting color is more for using multiple bitmaps of thr same kind to produce greys
