BlitzBasic <--- depreciated.
Here is my version, based on my experience:BlitzBasic <--- First attempt - the "throw away prototype".
Blitz3D <--- Second System Syndrome - an overly intricate program, built on-top of what is essentially a prototype.
BlitzPlus <--- The first BlitzMAX prototype.
BlitzMax <--- The first actual product, based on mistakes and ommisions from previous products, including but not limited to a proper compiler. Written from scratch.
My impression is that Mark is still very much in the design stage (having re-designed the 3D module several times) and the heavy duty coding has yet to begin.
Not everyone uses a Waterfall Paradigm for developing software you know.
