As the title of this thread states, I am attempting a 3D Network Space Game.

1. Is it possible to run two 3D programs in Blitz at once? For testing, I want to run the program once in debug mode, minimize it, run another copy of it, and see how the two programs interact, but unfortunately whenever I try to run the second code I get the following error: "Unable to Create 3D Scene." Is there any way to do this?

2. Since I want my ship to behave like a normal spaceship, when I use the thrust, the ship should move forward. However, when the ship turns and thrusts again it will not change direction completely, but rather move in a combination of two directions. I could not think of any way to do this using Blitz's TurnEntity and MoveEntity commands like I normally do. Do I have to use Sines and Cosines to achieve this effect?
