Hi i am hacking a pong game into a racing game. At the moment i am trying to blit to a half screen with player A on th right and B on the left. any one know why it isn't working? I am using Visual C++.

> Hi i am hacking a pong game into a racing game.
Well there's your problem - you started from the wrong place!

Write some new code to do what you actually want to do.

I doubt many people would want to wade through 500+ lines of a broken pong game just to figure out what next to hack.

You might need to update how you’re handling the blit order. Make sure the background is drawn before the car surface.
