The forum is locked. These are the original blitzbasic.com forums, kept so they can still be read. No new topics, replies or edits can be made here. To join in, head over to the Blitz3D+ forums.

The language is pretty nice. Quite a few obvious things missing, but nothing so far that can't be worked around.

The documentation is barely adequate for a beta, and if I had a Mac, I'd consider the documentation completely INadequate.

I'm very disappointed with the 2d module. I was expecting it to be a lot more impressive than the extremely basic one we got. I mean alpha blending and realtime rotation and scaling are an improvement over BlitzPlus ( though not over B3d ) and that's pretty much as basic as the improvements could be, considering that OpenGL is all 3d accelerated anyway. But hey, it's early days, so the good stuff may be added later.
