I probably will give bmax a go when it's more stable, and has a 3D module. So, that's at least a year or two.
Know what's scary?
I'll have known of Max for 8 years at that point!
I first heard of BlitzMax in 2000 when i went to college, of course, it was just an idea back then, but my god, 8 years and it's finally here? O.O
