I'm making a game in a window as opposed to full screen, and whenever I start the program the window always starts at the top left corner. Is there a way to position the window in a different place?
(Also, I'd like to know how to prevent resizing but that isn't vital).
Thanks

What version of DBC are you using? You should be able to use 'SET WINDOW POSITION X,Y'. I am using the enhanced v 1.13. If you can't find this command in the help files, you can get v 1.13 here:

Researched some of the DBCe commands for windows, and as previously mention you can adjust the window position on your windows desktop using the command SET WINDOW POSITION (x),(y).
As far as preventing users from re-sizing the window, I could not spot a command which actually prevents the window size from being changed. To make matters worse, there is not a command which returns the size of a window you specify. As cheap as this may sound there is indeed a solution to preventing users from changing the size of the window you specify.
Just create a 5 or 10 second timer which constantly sets the window size SET WINDOW SIZE (width),(height). So if the window is re-sized by the end user, your program will get around to setting the size correctly again. I hope this helps.

To prevent a window from being resized use the SET WINDOW LAYOUT command:
SET WINDOW ON
SET WINDOW SIZE 640,480
SET WINDOW POSITION 100,100
SET WINDOW LAYOUT 0,1,0
SET WINDOW TITLE "Powerball"
SHOW WINDOW
Sync On
Ink RGB(255,255,255),0
XPos# = 12.0: YPos# = 12.0
XDir# = 5.0: YDir# = 1.0
Do
Gosub MoveCircle
Loop
MoveCircle:
Inc YDir#,1.0
Inc XPos#, XDir#
Inc YPos#, YDir#
If YPos# >= 465.0
Rem Hit floor
YPos# = 465.0: YDir# = 0.0-YDir#
If XDir# > 0
Dec XDir#,.2
Else
Inc XDir#,.2
Endif
If ABS(XDir#) < 0.1
XPos# = 12.0: YPos# = 12.0
XDir# = Rnd(5)+4.0
YDir# = 1.0
Endif
Endif
If XPos# >= 630.0 Then XPos# = 630.0: XDir# = 0.0-XDir#
If XPos# <= 10.0 Then XPos# = 10.0: XDir# = 0.0-XDir#
Rem Add a bit of gravity...
Inc YPos#,0.5
CLS
Circle XPos#,YPos#,10
Sync
Return
