I wrote a simple bit of code to help someone with gworlds. Check out this
code. Ask me any questions you have after you've had a look through it.DIM GWorld&,oldWrld&,oldDev&

DIM GrafPortT,GrafPortL,GrafPortB,GrafPortR

END GLOBALS

WINDOW #1,,(0,0)-(640,480),_dialogPlain

GOSUB "Build GWorld"

DO
  
  CALL SETGWORLD(GWorld&,0)
  COLOR _zwhite
  BOX FILL 0,0 TO 640,480
  
  COLOR _zblack
  BOX FILL RND(640),RND(480) TO RND(640),RND(480)
  
  CALL SETGWORLD(oldWrld&,oldDev&)
  
  CALL COPYBITS(#GWorld&+2,#oldWrld&+2,GrafPortT,GrafPortT,_srccopy,0)
  
  HANDLEEVENTS
  IF INKEY$ = "" THEN programends = 1
UNTIL programends

CALL DISPOSEGWORLD(GWorld&)

END

"Build GWorld"

GrafPortT = 0
GrafPortL = 0
GrafPortB = 480
GrafPortR = 640

CALL GETGWORLD(oldWrld&,oldDev&)
OSErr = FN NEWGWORLD(GWorld&,8,GrafPortT,0,0,0)
RETURN
