Once you know C++ it's not going to take you any more than a few minutes more typing to do the same things you can do with Blitz. Most of game programming is the mental stride you need to take ... not the typing stride in order to complete the race. How much longer does it take me to type this post instead of one with a single sentence? That's about the difference between C++ and Blitz ... and yet C++ offers so many more options for you to be dynamic and also to build new code onto old code so that you go quicker and quicker as you build up your library.
