Can blitzplus do pointers? If so, then how?

B+ does not have pointers.

If you put all your variables in a bank, then you kinda can use the idea of pointers. Bank=mem, a pointer points to mem, bankadres = pointer to bankmem..

Yeah not pointers as we know it (from C) but it does have Handles and when you load a sound or image, the variable is a pointer to the sound/image.

You could just create your own image and draw it at mousex() and mousey(). Just as good imo.

Yea, I know. Now that I'm getting in deeper into the reference guide I'm starting to get a better idea of what it can really do. Man, it makes some of this stuff too easy.
