As of right now I have a brief understanding of how one would do a bloom effect on a programming language centered around shaders (example: XNA) and as of now, I havent the slightest idea how one would go about doing a fast bloom in blitz3d unless they did what a shader does and look at each pixel one by one. so can anyone at least face me in the right direction of how to do this?
Bloom
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Bloom If you want the quick and easy way I would suggest the ASHADOW library. Its post processing effects such as Bloom, blur and depth of field are quite nice.
A method using just blitz would be to grab the screen contents via the copyrect command, and using some offsets or scaling with different blend modes to achieve a decent(but slow) effect.
Do a search. This topic has been discussed many times, and there is some demo code in the archives.
