I tried importing this from a .bb file. blitzmax converted it to .bmx but I'm getting errors when compiling. Any help appreciated. Graphics 800,600 SetBuffer BackBuffer() Repeat Cls x=MilliSecs()/10.0 Mod 800 SinScroll("A nice sinus scroller, just a small example how this can be done :)",800-x,300,MilliSecs()/5.0) SinScroll("A nice sinus scroller, just a small example how this can be done :)",800-x-800,300,MilliSecs()/5.0) Flip Until KeyDown(1) End Function SinScroll(txt$,x,y,am,amp=25,per=20,d=10) For n=1 To Len(txt$) Text x+xx,y+Sin(am+n*per)*amp,Mid$(txt$,n,1) xx=xx+d Next End Function How good is the import bb project function in BlitzMax ?

I would not use the BB importer. It creates a extremely unoptimized procedural code which is next to useless ... Better rewrite stuff from scratch with BMs OO behaviour in mind to make sure you won't have speed issues because of that.

Thanks for the info. The importer doesn't even change the comments from bb's ; to bmx's ' !
