Its simpler in that way, that BlitzPlus / Blitz3D have buffers which BM still lacks 2+ years post release, even though Indiepaths and others have through modules in that show how it could be approach.
True, but Indiepath's render-to-texture approach also doesn't work properly on many video cards -- you can never count on it working on all systems.
But isnt BlitzPlus slower then BlitzMax?
When i tested i was horrified.

It greatly depends on the video card you have -- Blitzplus needs a video card that's good at 2D, Blitzmax need s avideocard that's good at 3D.
Most of the new video cards mainly focus on 3D and have slow 2D drivers, so blitzmax can be considerably faster. Old generation cards tend to be faster with Blitzplus than Blitzmax.
