You're doing it wrong. Use a virtual screen, update your player's
position in it and draw the change to the real screen in one update.
There are lots of ways to do it, the easiest way is to keep a copy of the
background in a sequence, then index into the sequence to "draw" the
player graphic into it, then cut the region of interest out of the
"virtual screen" and display_image it in the right place. Unless your
player image is HUGE (like bigger than 30x30) you should be able to do it
plenty fast enough for games. The OidZone Programmer's Reference has a
complete discussion of this technique with line by line source code
explanation. There are also a number of graphics libraries available on
the offical Euphoria site which will take care of all of this for you.
