I donno, Blitz really helped me get into C++.
i've been C++'ing for about three/four weeks now and im pretty confident my game'll be finished soon (crappy space shooter of course): but withought the easy learning of how the system works which i picked up with Blitz, i would have absolutely no idea how to use a Struct, loop, or any of the start off things: nevermind move an animated object about the screen firing at one in the centre with heat seeking alpha rockets that trail off after a few seconds, although saying that, its not even a difficult thing..
i think the best thing to do is learn the basics in basic, then move onto a new level.
