I am trying to create my own mario game but cant add ground

[E1M1]

Hi I tried to create my own mario game,I created sky but if I try create ground, AutoIt just won't draw it, It draws only sky(actually It draws grounds but since it's behind the sky, you just cant see it).How I can make script that paints sky as background picture and all other things on it so that all other level objects would be in front of sky?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Mario", 640, 480)
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
Level()
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func Level()
    $LevelWidth = 640
    AddSky($LevelWidth)
    AddGround(0,420,320,60)
EndFunc

Func AddSky($LevelWidth)
    GUICtrlCreatePic("sky.bmp",0,0,$LevelWidth,480)
EndFunc

Func AddGround($left,$top,$width,$height)
    GUICtrlCreatePic("ground.bmp",$left,$top,$width,$height,$GUI_ONTOP)
EndFunc

Exciting project. Maybe when you are further along I'll contribute a GDI shrub or something...

I thin what you need is $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS. You will all need guisetstate(@SW_DISABLE) for the background

I tried to add

guictrlsetstate(-1,@SW_DISABLE)

to sky and

$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS to sky but It didn't work then I tried to add it for ground but it didn't work thatway too.

I developed it a bit but when I press right arrow to move my char my char disapears.

Add this line in after you move the guicontrol

_WinAPI_RedrawWindow(GUICtrlGetHandle($char), "", "", BitOR($WM_ERASEBKGND, $RDW_INVALIDATE, $RDW_UPDATENOW, $RDW_FRAME))

Ok but now it ower writes ground if I move on ground :S

but now the question is: Can I shoot and move at same time? At the moment my everything else freezes until missile ends.

and how to summon other missile while another is flying?

I wanna use something like this

Summon();Cast 1st missile

sleep();wait to cast 2nd missile, but keep 1st missile flying at same time

summon();keep 1st missile flying and cast 2nd one at same time.

;2 missiles fly together

;and character is walking.
