OK, obvious a generation gap or something, my bad.
I released my first commercial game 19 years ago, i'm well aware that games can be 2D. I'm also well are that there are not any 2D games around anymore apart from the odd indi puzzle game.
I'm using SetFileMode to change the others part of the POSIX permissions of *files* to read & write, of course the document is still safe because the share point has it's own permissions. This needs doing in many Mac firms a few dozen times a day, and is done by hand, so I made a tool to auto-repeat the process but of course it only works if logged in as root. I would like for this not to be the case.
I dont mind if BlitzMax cannot do this, but I resent the "Blitz is for games" answer. It undermines the product and what it can do, there's been many great utilities written in Blitz already. If that's the label BR wants though, good luck! Itd have to be one hell of a 3D engine to prize me away from Blitz3D.
