i know to a new buyer it might seem limited being dx7 and released in 2001 (having said that C was released in the 60/70's)
but if it were to stop working and the only fix was a critical rewrite (which i doubt would happen) there is always max+minib3D
too true, without blitz i doubt platypus would have been made unless anthony was willing to hand the game over to a c coder as dark basic at the same time was never aimed at 2D, the same can be said for alot of gfx artists and moddelers who took controll of their dreams instead of just being the artist, c can be seen as too much of a commitment to some people (it is for me)
