Hy Purebasic Users,

I'm new to this programming language and I want to do a little game
where I have to display a playing field which consists of
20 to 20 blocks each 32 to 32 pixels large.
I have seen that the 2D Routines are not implemented yet.
Will they be be implemented in the near future ?

Or do you recommend to use Sprites instead ?

Yes, I strongly recommend Sprite usage as its much faster for a game. About the 2D Drawing methods, it should be available in the next version.

Okay thanx.
I have a deeper look into Sprites today.
I let you know if the speed is enough for our game.

Ot use SDL, so it should be the faster way to handle sprite on Linux.
