I am making a hangman game but everytime ‘‘Image1’’ switches to a different image. It needs to load the image. Is there a way to makes it more seamless instead of it dissapearing for a split second? It not being instant makes entering the wrong letter seem less threatening for some reason. ---

Hey @benica44na3c58 How long of a delay are we talking about here? Where do you load the assets from? ---

Where are your images residing? Aren’t your images part of the project assets? ---

If the image file sizes are relatively small and they are stored in the project, there should be no lag. ---

No longer than half a second, but it is still bothering as it looks like it ‘‘flashes’’ white when switching between images. Its loaded from files ive uploaded. ---

Can you post a link to an app that shows this. behavior. This _might_ happen if the local files were very large, but when i use images from icons8, i can change photos so fast i don’t notice the blink. I only notice the delay you mention when i update with an image from the internet. ---

I saw what you mean. I did a similar game a while ago but I did it the other way round. I have an image of the full hangman (with all the pieces) and I have basic shapes in the same color of the screen to cover the parts I don’t want to show. I then remove the shapes one at a time. For example, when the user gives a wrong letter, I remove the shape covering the head, if the next letter is wrong then I remove the shape covering the body and so on. **[Edit]** You don’t need a `Forever` loop. This makes the app slower and does not provide any benefit. The actions will only take place when a key is pressed so this is where you specify action. For the buttons of the alphabet letters you could use `Any component` instead of coding for each key. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/a/ba00e03575d1237516db0f8dba9bcbc17807ef33.png) ---

I am new to Thunkable and would not exactly know how to do this, and i also dont know how easy it would be to implement this far into coding it. Also, could you share a link to your Hangman-type game? I might be able to learn from it! 😃 ---
