Title Screen not loading properly

[Adam W]

My title screen isn't loading correctly when the game is turned on,
but when game over occurs it will load correctly. It has started
doing that when I loaded the easyScore into my game. I know it has
something to do with the window but I don't know what is doing it.
Could someone help me?

Sorry I just put an updated version of my project on here. I also am
having trouble with the game running after the title screen. It
freezes now that I have 2 more enemy's loaded into the startup.

Yea!! I figured out why my sprites weren't working! I was just being
stupid (usually the case). My title screen isn't loading still
though. Maybe I can fix that and post to my own problem again. :)

The reason your title screen isn't showing up is because the window is covering the background, where your title screen is being printed. You turn the window on in line 139 for easyScore and by default it is covering the entire screen.     call    easyScoreInit moves the window to the bottom line of the screen. But before you do this, it will cover the entire background.

The solution therefore is to move the call to easyScoreInit to somewhere before you write to the background of the screen. I moved it from line 184 to line 150. Then your title screen shows up.
