Can anybody help me or tell me how to create a mini map
for my game in BlitzBasic. Maybe with rotating map.
Anything like this:

~ Thank you.

I'd use a sprite with a texture where you render this stuff.

but how to move that sprite, like world of warcrafts map (last picture)
That you only see the local area, not all of the world map

If you use a terrain heightmap, you could just copy a rectangle from the heightmap into the sprite's texture. Or you use an extra map image where you copy a rect into the sprite's texture.

Just use the current position as center...
