Your problem is that you are drawing the bitmap to b, but b is a memory 
bitmap, it's separate from the screen. If you want to draw to the screen, 
specify screen in putpixel as the bitmap instead of b - or copy the 
contents of b to the screen using blit. (Most graphical programs write 
their graphics to a memory bitmap then copy that bitmap to the actual 
screen, so that the entire screen is updated simultaneously)
