Hello,
I'm brand new to blitzmax and I had a quick question. When I was running the firepaint sample it would crash when the memory went over a certain point. Is this a common problem? If so, is there a way to manage the memory usage so a program doesn't turn off when this happens?

Memory usage should not keep going up. Mine seems to hover in the 50K to 70K range.

Are you running the latest version of BlitzMax, and the firepaint sample that comes with it? Sometimes the samples are updated along with the language. I don't recall if this is the case with firepaint.

turns out it's just the crappy video card in my laptop. everything works fine on my desktop. i think intel needs to update their drivers or something. soo many blue screens when i'm using blitzmax.
