Maverick - code a simple game - and i guaranty - you will love blitz! It's simple to use and it's fast...
You hate IDE? Hm I love BB-IDE - it's so simple and easy - you don't need a monster IDE to create games... And you can use other IDE's - some free some commercial - or text editors...
-EDIT-
I wrote 300KB large source code in BB2D and i can run my program in BB3D without changes! And i can run my program in BB+ - but with some speed decrease (after i add new bb+ image-flags to my code, my prog run with the same speed!)
But i agree BB+ is a bit incompatible with bb2d/3d (if you use brand new gui stuff)
" 500 x 500 of byte = 250000 bytes = 244 Ko (rounded).
500 x 500 of byte x 4 (1 word = 4 bytes) = 244 Ko x 4 = 976 Ko.
976 Ko - 244 Ko = 732 Ko of ram spoiled just for NOTHING. "
USE BANKS!!!
