I agree with the arguement that Blitzmax is a value for the Dollar, thats why I bought it... I also have high hopes that it can become much more than it already is. I'm also happy with my copy of Visual Studio.
One more thing to add to the list:
10. Documentation on how to add any API calls to Blitzmax. and possibly a WinAPI viewer like in VB6, that allows you to easily import Windows API calls.
Thats a selfish one since I'm so used to using WinAPI calls, I'd love to make a version of Max2d that used nothing but the Win API. That way games would work on ANY windows PC, regardless of video card, opengl, directx problems. Of Course performance would suck, but for some of us thats not that big of a deal.
peace, Bill.
