Kuron, wthe FreeImage DLL can be compressed down to 400 kb. Why does it matter? Download speed?
Slenkar, a DX engine might be able to render over Blitz3D, but I don't use it.
You Intel integrated graphics people...I'd like to get this working for you, if possible. I used to have that graphics card, and I know it wouldn't run a lot of simple OpenGL apps...but I would like to get it working, if possible. There must be a really well-known issue with those. Can you get me your precise gfx card names?
Advantages over BlitzMax? I think you should just use what you prefer. If you have BlitzMax, this is a little redundant, unless you want to be able to save images. If you don't have BlitzMax, this is an easy way to get all the same 2D effects, without changing programming languages.
