Hallo :-)

I've been beavering away on getting BRL.D3D9Max2D working with bmx-ng this weekend.
It has required rewriting all the glue code, but it has all gone surprisingly smoothly, and appears to work very well !

Here's a small 64-bit DX9 demo of the breakout sample for your amusement.

That's great news Brucey!

If you need a more complex code to test, please let me know... :o)

... getting an error on rebuild modules...

Sorry. That's what comes of committing stuff in the middle of the night... fixed.

64BIT Blitzmax? Nice one Brucey :-)

In addition, I decided to implement DX9 support for the SDL backend, which introduces the SDL.D3D9SDLMax2D module. This gives a bit more flexibility for Windows people. (SDL uses its own event and window management)

It appears to function appropriately on 64-bit too.
