Hi.
I'm making a game that draws tiles in a picturebox to form a map, then draws an image with a transparent background, representing the character. The problem is, when the player moves, the character image flickers. Can anyone advise me on how to resolve this?
The program checks to see what is on the square, then calls the following subroutine to draw the tiles on the screen:
After all the tiles have been printed this subroutine is called to draw the character.
Then, the value Strt is switched to true so that when the player moves, and the tiles are redrawn, it uses the g = picScreen.CreateGraphics() method.
Any ideas?

Code:
Sub Draw(X As Integer, Y As Integer, Sel As Integer, Trans As Boolean)
Dim g As Graphics
Dim Img As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(picTiles.Image)
Dim src_rect As New Rectangle(Sel * 64, 0, 64, 64)
Dim dst_rect As New Rectangle((X - 1) * 64, Y * 64, 64, 64)
If Strt = False Then g = Graphics.FromImage(picScreen.Image) Else g = picScreen.CreateGraphics()
If Trans = True Then Img.MakeTransparent(System.Drawing.Color.White)
g.DrawImage(Img, dst_rect, src_rect, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
g.Dispose()
End SubCode:
Sub Playr()
Dim g As Graphics
Dim Img As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(picTiles2.Image)
Dim src_rect As New Rectangle(Player.Direction * 64, 0, 64, 64)
Dim dst_rect As New Rectangle(256, 256, 64, 64)
If Strt = False Then g = Graphics.FromImage(picScreen.Image) Else g = picScreen.CreateGraphics()
Img.MakeTransparent(System.Drawing.Color.Magenta)
g.DrawImage(Img, dst_rect, src_rect, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
g.Dispose()
End SubAny ideas?
