Blitz2d, apps and 3d

I have blitz 3d but cant create windows apps.

Is blitz 2d in the apps version the same as in the 3d version? if so can you just not create an install package so we can create windows apps?

Can you download and merge the 2 different software packages to run together ie Have a windows form with menu and command buttons etc then have a window running within that form running a game?

I want to create a menu system for a game and have it running in a window on a form but where you can also change the game options as you play etc

Checkout winblitz3d available in the toolbox, winblitz3d offers true windows api access.

Its command syntax is like that used in blitz+. also when using winblitz3d no external .dll is required.

Is it possible to design a game that runs like, for example, windows minesweeper? The form and menus surrounding the main gameplay area?

You could do that with BlitzPlus -- you don't even need Blitz3D. But either way, it's possible in both cases.

To expand a bit-

BlitzPlus INCLUDES all the Windows functions- creating windows, gadgets, slider bars, etc. It automatically creates all that stuff where you tell it to.

Blitz3D can do most of the same kind of thing, but it's NOT built-in. YOU have to program the menu displays, place the closer box graphics and monitor for mouseclicks to respond to user inputs.

But of course, BlitzPlus is 2D, while Blitz3D is, well.. 3D.
