| Well - It's bug free, has a beginning, a replay, and an end. It may be simple but I would still like to show all what has been accomplished since January 4, 2005, the first day I looked at blitzMax. Never programmed before but never the less I like a challenge. Purchased BlitzMax a few days later and plowed in. How do I take a decent screenshot of the program in action? Using the computers screencapture produces poor results. |

| How do I take a decent screenshot of the program in action? One way is to use a 3rd party tool like FRAPS ( http://www.fraps.com ) which can take screenshots when you press a certain function key. It can also record video of your game-in-progress, and overlay a FPS counter in a corner if you choose to do so. *Very* nice program. Another one is to run your game in windowed mode, and simply use PrintScreen to grab a screencopy... you can then paste it into your favorite paint program, and save to disk. |

| Pressing PrtSc should also work in full screen mode - just quit your program and paste into your paint program as xlsior said. |

| apple+shift+4 allows gives you a cross-hair mousepointer which you can drag a box out over any part of the screen you like and it will save just that portion to a file. The only thing I kind of don't like about the screengrab in osx is that they made it save as PDF files - not exactly my first choice for a graphics file format. |
