In addition, one thing that would be useful to huge projects like mine would be a warning system as in Visual C++ where it tells you on execution that you've declared variables and not used them.
Or a system like in Eclipse where it can tell you of unused/redundant imports... Pretty much what I want to know is are these things included in the BlitzMAX IDE and generally what's the IDE like?
Nope. Generally the BlitzMAX IDE is a small step up from previous IDEs. Almost everyone I know is using Eclipse instead, but development on the plug-in seems to have stalled.Still, it's way better than the default IDE.
