In Blitzplus I would create most of sprites at startup by use of Createimage(), Imagebuffer(), and then the drawing and text comands. What is the equivalant approach in BlitzMax?

create an image of the desired size with CreateImage draw your stuff to the backbuffer/screen as usual. grab the backbuffer/screen with GrabImage. Last edited 2012

That seems to be the way to go, Thanks.

Or create a pix map in main memory and write to it with pointers or WritePixel and then turn it into an image.

Text and draw comands don't work on Pixmap correct? So that's not really option for me.
