Several times now I've desperately wanted to learn BlitzMax inside out with the intention of writing a BlitzMax manual/game dev book, but the questions I write to the Blitz developers always go ignored.
The help for BlitzMax is woeful, I mean...Superstrict? What the hell does it do? The manual says, "Sets superstrict mode"! Thats great isn't it? So I write to blitz and ask for some insight but again the email goes ignored. I wouldn't mind but the lack of documentation is killing their product, I would love to write a manual for it but they seem to have no interest.
Things like error messages too, it would actually help if they made any sense or had an explanation.
BlitzMax is a great, great language but you get a real feeling of abandonment using it.
Why won't they help me?
