Step 3: Draw the screen

If you try running it now, you still won't see anything. You need lcd.Draw to actually draw to the screen.

Snake.spin

PUB Main
    lcd.Start(gfx.Start)
    ctrl.Start

    gfx.Sprite(@dot_gfx, 25, 25, 0)
    lcd.Draw

DAT
    dot_gfx
    word    0

dot_gfx does not equal @dot_gfx

@ is the address operator, and it changes the meaning of a variable or label.

• dot_gfx is the value at dot_gfx.

• @dot_gfx is the address of dot_gfx, or where it is in memory.

See for yourself. Try removing the \'@\' symbol from your code and see what happens.

At this point, you should have a very exciting dot on the screen.

NEXT TIME: We get a move on and make this dot go somewhere.
