Ahh, according to the source here the screen is depth "3".

Technically "moon" is a C data structure (I'd call it moon.c).
no biggie though.

Here you say the Image is 5 bit planes, in the screen structure you say
you only want 3 bit planes. Intuition could be getting confused, or worse
writing 3 bitplanes of pictureData and 2 bit planes of zeros. That's
what plane pick on/off does, fills or zeros specified planes.

 Change this        |

 I'd also  make this HIRES instead of NULL. unless you want LORES.


The rest looks ok. I'd get some sample programs from a BBS or look in the
Intuition Reference (or Rom Kernal Manual) for some intro on Amiga
programming. Keep trying, you'll get it.
