Yipe. Things seem to have deviated from my simple question..
Anyway, I don't think a dumbed-down version of Blitz is needed. I come from the dying world of web development, so I'm used to Perl and JavaScript and other "not real programming languages" like that. Blitz has been really easy for me to pick up (although I do wish it had proper pointers you could put into arrays and such).
I think what a "lib" means in this case is some functions of Blitz code in an includable .bb file that will go talk to the DLLs and the API for you.. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
Anyway, from what I've read, it sounds like getting vibration and force feedback support through DLLs would be much more trouble than it's worth (if not utterly impossible), but I also think Brice is greatly underestimating the number of users with a rumble device in their joypads.
