I have a simple 2D scrolling game (lunar lander type) started in BMax on my Mac G5 1.6GHz. When I loaded it on my old Powerbook (G4 433MHz w/8MB GFX card, 512MB RAM, OSX 10.3) it crawls! Actually, 'crawls' may be too 'fast' of a description. I'm assuming it is because of it having only 8MB of VRAM, since the processor easily handled the same game written in TNT BASIC (which didn't even use the VRAM). Even using the bglSwapBuffers and bglSetSwapInterval(0) it crawls. Is the Powerbook that far below the minimum system requirements for BMax or could something else be the problem. What is the oldest Mac people have been able to use BMax with?
Other than this, I think BlitzMax has been a great product and I look forward to future releases.
