I'm not criticizing the BRL products. I don't know how many times I've had to say that. I go out of my way to say how great they are. I have criticized the documentation for Blitz Max for obvious reasons. But all of my critique (Constructive Critique I might add) are about BRL's marketing, and failure to stay current and competitive.
TGC are passing BRL by with a better graphics engine, and tons of supporting apps. Has anybody played around with First Person Shooter Creator? It's a blast! Regularly $49.99 USD, I got it for free by buying a different program for $20 USD via 'Trial Pay'.
But my real point is: If I have trouble figuring out how to use a feature in the FPSC... They have tutorial videos online!. What does BRL have for people who want to figure out the new BMax features? We have to sift through the cryptic documentation and pray that there's something descriptive enough. Or search the forums, again, hoping to find something close to being helpful.
A good example: Where in the documentation does it say anything about 'Threading'? I'm excited for it. I would like to learn how to use it in a BMax program. Where do I learn about it?
