Load and Draw an Image in PlayBasic

How To Load and Draw an Image in PlayBasic

Declare a Variable

Before you load the image, you need to declare a variable to hold the image index. The image index acts as a handle by which you can manipulate the image.

Load the Image

Now that you have a place to store the image index, load the image with LoadNewImage()

img = LoadNewImage("test_image.png")
