SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

I think this might be handy
someone can put it up if they want.

the command reference of blitz3d is included with the blitz3d IDE.

you can find the help files in this archive :

It's a god dame shame we don't have this for BLITZMAXNG ! No one else would use anything else! It's the closest thing to 'Basic' and with the Speed of 'C' !

It cannot be as fast as C, because Max has garbage collection, that inevitably causes a little slow down 

There is no need to use the Garbage Collector if you used pointers etc in BlitzMax. 

But of course this would be inconvenient.
And even with the overhead of the "bmx to c"-translation which might be "verbose" you can still be faster than many C written things ... as it depends on how you implement things. So the most "slowdowns" do not happen because of the asm code you generate out of language X ... but on the logic you want to get compiled.

In other words: write dumb code, get slow programs. Guess most users here will not be the C-cracks to write most efficient code there (I include myself to that group). Today people will prefer to write C# and the likes ... and get GCs there too. Yet you are right when saying that the overhead of BMX and the GC will make it slower than a similar "logic" done in C. Of course memleaks handling is something you need to invest time for, when doing C stuff .. in BlitzMax you can often neglect it.

You finally realised the shirt you wore for the manual's photoshoot was terrible?

Hehehehe Sorry Mr R, couldnt resist!

lol  (this was not me)

for my avatar, i wanted to add some flashy colors without looking like an LGBTQ guy...
i prefer to look like an 'arlequin' .

( these colors also represent the colors of the crypto currencies that i liked : bitcoin, bitcoin cash, monero, ethereum, solana )

but i am going to tweak the colors a little bit, since now i prefer monero rather than bitcoin / bitcoin cash, and i prefer solana rather than ethereum.
