So if I want to whizz sprites around the screen - such as games like pacman or galaxians then I should be ok with blitz3d yes?
Oh yeah. BlitzPlus is very new. Almost all the 2d games that have been made in Blitz were made either in Blitz3d or Blitz2d. And everything in Blitz2d is in Blitz3d as well. In fact the only difference between blitz2d and 3d is that Blitz3d makes slightly larger executables.
