Hello.
For an assignment piece I am coding an app that controls many of the annoying bits of a board game I have made - not important but background info.
Basically, I had a menu set up but I didn’t like it and I am now redesigning it.
Here is the main code chunk:

I put most of it in the main tab, but right at the bottom you will notice there is a class call (will include class in reply) but whenever I call it, instead of blocking out the screen with delightful green, a quick tap brings a fast flickering image, a held tap lowers the rate and after a few seconds of hold it will then be blocked in.
I know there is a bunch of problems with the code like variables that do not make sense and all the rest - it is okay. I have them all in a scrap tab which was the old version I am converting (will include). If anyone can help with this flickering it would be much appreciated!
