The problem is :int, :double :float :short :byte :long are not types. This are values.
This is from the top of the types page
"Types
All constants, variables, functions and expressions have an associated type. BlitzMax supports the following types:"
Where it then goes on to list byte short int etc.
The are types, so stop saying they are numbers.
Not sure what you want people to say
I dont want you to say anything, I just wanted to point out that there is a difference bettween the two type of types
AND hope Dreamora can see the difference between easy to learn and intuitive
The Current system of pointers etc is intuitive to YOU cos youve already learnt it. It is a two rule system, one for one lot of types and one for the other
