Thanks for the efforts Emmett, but that one also shows as Intel in  
the Finder here, has that slashed white circle on it. And I'm running  
10.4.11, so maybe would be another obstacle even if built in PPC. Bad  
Architecture message here. I'm 7 years behind modern right now. :(

Looking over your code, the image loading and rotation will probably  
be your main challenge, FB has no single word calls like SetRotation  
to do that like BlitzMax does apparently. You can use GWorlds with  
some Quicktime rotation code (via a transformation matrix), or  
OpenGL, or CoreImage/CGContexts.

If pre-rotating them in Photoshop or another graphic program, you  
could load them all to a single GWorld and then draw them to any  
location onscreen.  That's might be your fastest route. Make like a  
filmstrip, then copy the needed rectangle area over to the screen. If  
using Quickdraw, you'd probably have to use an arithmetic transfer  
mode...and copymask.

Onsecond thought, maybe consider CoreImage, and CGLayers. It handles  
all the PNG transparency and you can do the rotations fairly easily  
I'd bet too.
