I'm not so new - I used to be a die-hard Blitz Basic coder - but I've been away from it for years and have just gotten back into it. This time, I'm using Blitz3D instead of classic Blitz Basic.

I'm resuming a platform game project I started years ago, and because I'm new to Blitz3D I have a couple of questions:

- I'm thinking about using sprite for the player and enemy characters. Is it possible to "flip" the sprites to simulate facing left and right?

- I would possibly want to be able to zoom in and out of the game map, possibly with rotation (á la Mode 7). How could I do that?

Many thanks.
