Here's a "puki" version - NOTE: Doesn't work on all versions of Blitz3D - so you might just see a black cube and sphere. Plus, you might have to faff with it to get it rotating at desirable speed:
;another 2003 demo by puki - inspired by Mak's Multitexturing demo

;It looks better with a detail texture on the sphere to visually show rotation
;On my computer I use a glass one that shows slight blemishes and shadowing in the sphere
;without doing this, it doesn't visually look like the sphere is rotating
sphere=CreateSphere(32)

EDIT:
Actually, it works okay in 16bit - it didn't before. Blitz3D had problems with multitexturing in one of the recent updates I think - something like that and this type of effect was broken and wouldn't work for some people who had the *duff* version of Blitz3D.
