Gfk - I realise that - but assumed that after 2 years BlitzMax might have evolved somewhat and therefore thought I was not simply trying to run the same demo again (I deleted the original demo so have no idea if it is the same version - but would hope not after all this time!).
When I chose Blitz3D I was very new to game programming. However, my 2D (unlike my 3D :o() programming has progressed considerably and I would now like to use a dedicated language for 2D and leave Blitz3D for when I eventually get my head round 3D game programming. Having seen some of the recent excellent examples created with BlitzMax I was hoping to re-evaluate it via the new demo with a view to purchasing the full version soon after. I don't want to use the demo forever - like I didn't with Blitz3D, which is why I bought the full version and deleted the demo.
Looks like I won't be able to do that with Max then.
