Hmmm well using only one buffer, it shouldn't matter whether or not you have it before or after the for loop, unless you were XORing it right after you displayed it.

Random question about the routine.  Would using Rect( work?

Yes it would, you would get a nice flaming rectangle :) Also note that with this routing there is no need to erase your sprites unless you don't want them to be on fire

Wow, this is really cool. Would you mind if I used your code in my game?

No, I meant wouldn't it be better to do rect(0,63,1,96 ?

It sure would be faster, but since you were only doing it once, i went for readability, since this is a tutorial :)

Builderboy, that's hot (pun very intended). This might go into the title screen of A:P if I can optimize enough space to fit it.

Edit: Success!

Question: how did you keep the text TAO from smoking away? From the Tao source, it seemed that you just copied the pic to the screen, then ran the code in a more conservative loop that didn't affect the lower portion of the screen. But when I tried it, the image on screen just burned up...

Nope, there is 1 extra command in the for loop :) there is an AND {TAO hex data} in there which continually erases the title into the screen, and also provides fuel for the fire to burn
