Hello everyone! I was thinking of making a program to read images of any type and convert them into format that Blitz3D can read. Any hint on how I should proceed or even if that is possible would be appreciated. :)

Umm, Blitz3D can read a lot of images already. What's the point? You can use any freeware painting program to convert most any image for you anyways.

It depends on what "any type" means. Do you want to interface through TWAIN and scan in the newspaper? What types are you thinking of that B2D can't read?

I assume he means a converter for 2D file formats. Rather pointless since tons of free tools already exist for doing this. Like, have you heard of GIMP? Supports loading and saving of pretty much every raster based file format I've heard of.
