360-degree panorama pictures

Has anyone here an idea, sample, tutorial or link with more information on how to do 360-degree panorama pictures using BlitzMax?

Please check this link out: http://www.adventuremaker.com/help/360_degree_panorama.htm

But how can I display them correct? I think the best would be to create a spehere and put the pic as texture on the inner side of the spehere?

I think if I just display them as whole pic and scroll trough it using X/Y Values it just doesn't look right?

Another way to do it is to put the camera inside a box.
