lol okay bud - you know best, but keep in mind a few things...
(1) Mark wrote Amiga BlitzBasic some 15-20 years ago - so he has a lot of experience in his field, so it was a different cpu, different language, different api, and in a 'different age'.
(2) Mark wrote commercial 3d games before he pulled BB, B3d, and BMax out of his bag of tricks. Not forgetting BPlus and Maplet in the meantime.
(3) Mark is only one bloke (yes that is the downside to speed of development)
(4) Mark has a huge user base ready and waiting for BlitzMax 3D Module - he isn't financially going to let this mod go 'down the pan' and he is capable of it - his record shows it.
(5) Most of us can already programme using Blitz products - most that I know who have tried alternatives such as Torque (which is very good), A6 and others don't seem to be able to get to like them and come back to B3d (and soon BMax 3D).
(6) You are a clever lad, I wish I had your talents and youth, but I don't so what suits me won't necessarily suit you - so disappointment is all to do with your own view on things not mine. Your disappointment may be my glee!
