I'am an old Blitz2D/Plus user, now I'm thinking to purchase BlitzMax to code a new project. I wanted to know... is Max2D a 3D acceletared framework isn't it ?

Thanks ! Actually I want to use BlitzMax to make a 3d accelerated GUI program... except for a nice GUI and custom buttons, it'll be a classic application with a standard database (I plan to use an external DLL of my own).

Is it possibile to use the events module without opening a MaxGUI window ? I mean, only using the Graphics() command. I did few tests and it seems to work, but the values I'm getting from EventID() seem different.

Yes, but only your own fired events (I think).

You can use polled input using Graphics().

Event hooks will probably suit you best.


Strict

Graphics 800,600

Function EventHook:Object(id,data:Object,context:Object)
	Local event:TEvent = TEvent(data)
	Select event.id
	Case EVENT_MOUSEMOVE
		Print "Mouse moved to "+event.x+","+event.y
	Case EVENT_MOUSEUP
		Print "Mouse up! (button = "+event.data+")"
	Case EVENT_MOUSEDOWN
		Print "Mouse down! (button = "+event.data+")"		
	End Select
End Function

AddHook EmitEventHook, EventHook

Repeat 
	Cls
	DrawRect MouseX() - 5, MouseY() - 5, 10, 10
	Flip
Until KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE) Or AppTerminate()

No need to use BRL.EventQueue, the module that provides EventID()/EventX()/EventY()/etc.
