Not quite sure where your going with this question   So here we go :-

1 : BlitzmaxNG install's with a simple Execution of an FILE!
2 : Everything is at hand to use straight away! With out anything else to get going with! No External Links LIBAARYS OR CONFUSION! Was that one "A" with "Libry" or even a make file to mention! Too a Recieve a Revlective CLASS!
3 : If i can use it anyone CAN!
4 : This Forum is active and people help "NICELY" NO MATTER YOUR SKILL LEVEL!" ALMOST!
5 : It's very fast!

DOWNSIDE

  Not enough! Worked example's to show how to use command's working!

SUMMARY

If your looking for existing programmers to use your language. There already on another level! Talking about Reflection pointers that access global primative's IN simple #class of their own ON a FNP! "

For Beginner's "FNP" Means On Another PLANET! and will SNUB trying your language!

BLITZMAXng is brilliant to get going! Just make it faster! I have to say though! Its very fast and almost comparable to "C". Oh! and add commands and other functions as technology moves on! Dark enviroments are good for night time programming and long hours staring at the screen. 

Fully Customizable IDE is a must!

Don't OPEN SOURCE it! So we end up with a load of version's that we. JUST CAN'T use! People just then add STUFF! That dosen't work! Id galdy pay for BlitzMaxNG if it's updated regularly and at a sensible price! As long as request's for new functions and alterations are added and controlled!

Frustrated! And looking for that little, tiny extra form BlitzmaxNG. Although one of the best Languages out there! "Imagine C with out all that sqiggley bracket CRAP!" However FREEBASIC 2.0 is COMING!

It's sort off Visual Basic 6.0 as fast as C+.  Might not see me here anymore! if Version 2.0 is Promising!

FORUM CHAT HELP AND COMMUNITY THE BIGGEST MUST!

Okay! Friday night PUB RANT OVER! PLZ! PUT your votes here! https://www.syntaxbomb.com/general-game-and-application-development/amazing-programming-language!/msg347053359/?topicseen#new Hopefully the RIGHT people who wrote this language will update what they started and keep it going!  Don't make another language if the other's better!?

Incidently! Ive been fondly progress with "WonKEY!" Update's. But unless it's an exicutable FILE!  People arn't going to be able to use it! YET!

Im into Emulating OLD computer systems! So access to screen resoloutions with Pointers to pixels and sound buffers are a must! OH and FULLSCREEN means FULLSCREEN! Not letter BOXING!

Currently im trying to Enjoy this programming language as a HOBBY! I know i need to get out more! BUT! FREEBASIC, PLAYBASIC AND BLITZMAX are the only languages that cut the MUSTARD!

Can't Wait for reply's to this!

Kindest Regard's BAGGEY!

Brucey doesn't own BlitzMax.  It is owned by Mark Sibley, and he decided to release BlitzMax under a license that requires any forks and derivatives to also be released as Open source.

Where is "MARK SIBLEY"! Do you Know "KEVIN PICONE?" If you two were to speak! We'd be in Programming heaven! As ive said i need to get out more! Kindest regard's Again! KUDOS to your programming Language's!

Kindest Baggey!

OH my god! Ive got a list of S**T So how do i change the position of the WINDOW! NICELY thou Do you get what im searching for! No is probably the answer! 

OMG
freebasic 2.0

the language is just that: the language - nothing more

you want an ide. you are going to have to learn how to open a window, access the graphics, write the gui control system. tie it all together etc. It's not a simple case of 'just change the colors'

you want a simple thing like move/resize a window. you have to take the code (that exists in the language) apart. find out why it's not doing something and come up with a patch to make it do it... and you are going to have to do it cross platform and respect each os...

you want something fully customisable. and it doesn't exist then you are going to have to write that yourself. if it's and ide then you will have to start with a control system that allows for customization, then build the ide from there. havent got a customizable gui system that is cross platform with full documentation and full working examples - then you are going to have to write them yourself... and make sure it is cross platform. and make sure it works

want to write something for macos then you have to know macos and what it expects. plus your graphics system is going to have to be based on metal. want windows, then your graphics system has to be directx or opengl based. But I hear you cry I'm not doing any 3d just 2d. What do you think 2d is on modern systems? it's 3d just viewed on a flat plane. so guess what you are going to have to know? How the base 3d architecture works, you are going to have to know shaders at least basic ones. and you are going to have to work out how the vertexes operate with the buffers - pst if it's not in c then you will have to know how to interface with c and all that is pointers... and then wrap it all up and a nice ball that hides everything I just mentioned away into a canvas with nice drawtext and drawrect commands...

You want a simple exe/app that you click and it just works - then you are going to have to spend then time and effort to get the unholy mess of code into an installer and make it run and check it and support it and put up with endless 'why oh why' moans from everyone because they cant just click it and make it work on their 40 year old fridge... <snark snark> But they wont tell you it's their fridge. just yell "THIS CRAP WONT WORK". Oh yes and they are running windows 3.1 and it wont run it just makes the cat scratch the sofa...

and you start to see that there is no 'simple' in anything. you need time, you need experience, and you need people.

And lastly... if you piss off that person (who is much better than you at something than you), even look at them sideways will do it, use colored text and caps everwhere should do it too. they will either rip you to shreds, or take their intellect somewhere else, or just cut you dead and abandon things... or worse... just sit (on their code) and watch

..
