I really like the BMax language but am also put off by the docs like most other people here. For example I wanted to find out how to turn off the blurriness you get when loading images. The answer was by using the AutoImageFlags command but you can guess how long that took to find :)
The way I see it is that if users of this community have trouble with BMax in this regard what are new users going to think when they test drive the program?
When I tried the Blitz3D demo for the first time I was instantly in love with the whole package but if BMax had been my first experience of BRL then I would have turned away, not because it is a poor language, far from it in fact, but because of the poor docs.
This also caused me loads of trouble getting my head around Amiga Blitz which also had very cryptic docs if I remember. I was hopeful that after using Blitz3D that had all changed.
It would be interesting to hear Marks views on this as it is quite obviously a major concern with BMax. Will the docs ever be updated to be more similar to Blitz3D?
