Hi been away a (very) long time, due to serious illness. I need lots of help because I have been totally out of touch with Blitz and computers in general. Anyway Im better now :) I think I should get a new version of Blitz (I had the old Blitz 2D). What I really want to know is if Blitz 3D has the same sprite handling commands as BlitzMax? Can you create 2D games in Blitz 3D just like in max? Does Blitz 3D handle sprites in exactly the same way?

I ask because I know I will eventually want to write 3D games, although initially I will be writing 2D games.

Also if I buy (download) a version of blitz now, and then later on I buy a new computer can I somehow transfer it accross without buying a second version of Blitz?

I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much!
