Easier? How easy do you want it to have? The way BlitzMax handles it is great, and fast. Try rotating with C/C++ and SDL and do this real time :-). Not impossible and not as fast as BlitzMax, but it requires more than 2 lines of code.
Nice to see a new user aboard. I just got BlitzMax last week as well.
