BlitzMax Praise

I just wanted to take this opportunity to publicly express to Sibly and Co. that I truly love working with BlitzMax. Yes, the documentation is horrendous, but overall I have had more joy working with BlitzMax than with any other language or platform in the past ten years. The GUI module is wonderful as well.

Thanks Mark and the gang for the awesome product and I wish BRL many more years of success!

Agreed. Very convenient compared to the other blitz languages... besides the documentation. It sure would be awesome if something was done to make it slightly easier to understand, since it does have features the other languages don't.

same goes for blitz3D!

whats all this talk about "blitz" programs? I see it everywhere on this site...

Blitzmax is great and what's even more important for me, is that is works very well in linux. But the lack of serious documents is something that should be addressed.

Blitz3D is better.

Blitzmax is awesome because :

- There are other programming languages, because BlitzMax allows them to exists.

- There is only two speed for BlitzMax : Fast and Faster

- When other programming languages compile, it gets translated in BlitzMax, and then machine language.

- When a program written in BlitzMax runs slow, its because time has slowed down.

- A coder used BlitzMax to hack Bill Gates house, and told him about it.

- When God created the earth, he used BlitzMax to code it.

- Meteors didn't kill the dinosaur, it was bad coding in BlitzMax.

- Microsoft is going to release Windows Vista, only if its compatible with BlitzMax.

- BlitzMax doesn't need coders. Coders need BlitzMax.

- BlitzMax has been multi-platform even before Linux, Windows, or Apple existed.

- Mark Sibly wakes up every morning because BlitzMax gave him permission.

- Hot chicks love BlitzMax, because they don't have a choice.

- The Internet was generated using BlitzMax code.

- The Nazis lost WWII because they couldn't learn how to code in BlitzMax.

- The country of France continues to exists, because BlitzMax feels pitty for it.

- Even Samuel L Jackson thinks BlitzMax is one bad motherf*ckin programming language.

- When Mark Sibly has to write a school essay on Greatness, all he wrote was "BlitzMax".

- When following a coding standard, you're not using Hungarian notation, you're always using BlitzMax notation.

- BlitzMax does not care what race, color, or creed you are. It will kill you if you piss it off.

- I would use run spell check to check all of this, but BlitzMax won't allow it.

- BlitzMax compiled code is ALWAYS superior to any other code.

- Viruses can infect any program, except for BlitzMax's executables.

- If someone were to create a computer viruse using BlitzMax, the human race will die out within a matter of minutes.

- The reason why Americans lost the Vietnam was is because they chose not to use BlitzMax.

- The ancient Egyptians didn't discover BlitzMax, BlitzMax discovered them.

- The ancient Mayans didn't decide that 2012 would be the end of the world, BlitzMax did.

- BlitzMax doesn't care about documentation. If you can't figure it out, then quit wasting BlitzMax's time.

Nice, Neuro! :)

- Chuck Norris coded up Vin Diesel in BlitzMax.


More seriously, I've enjoyed learning BlitzMax and am now getting to a point where I can take advantage of what it offers. It's great stuff.

Here's a few more :

- Chuck Norris fears nothing, except for BlitzMax.

- Karma is controlled by BlitzMax. When the code you write in BlitzMax fails to run, it is because you have offended BlitzMax and got what you deserve.

- When children go to sleep at night, they pray to God and BlitzMax.

- Blitzmax was used to develop Skynet.
- Skynet will send back a yet unknown T-series robot to hunt Mark for not releasing Max3D before skynet gained consciousness.

That explains everything - The 3d module has been hijacked by a robot from the future and Mark Has probably been eliminated as well - no wonder there is no news !!

Blitzmax is awesome because :

- Neuro needs to get a life and stop making up crap nonsense rubbish.

:)

ya gotta admit though... it was kinda funneee...


--Mike

if you get bugs in your programs or they refuse to run, its because BlitzMax has deemed you unworthy of its power.

lol @ Chuck Norris fears nothing, except for BlitzMax.

Actually I'd say there are a few graphical and sound issues with BlitzMax still, this disappoints me a bit. I'd like to see these issues resolved before any 3D module turns up for sure.

- Without BlitzMax Neuro would have nothing to waste his time on
- The Alamo fell because of improper variables set in its initial code in BlitzMax (fixed now... let the Army of Mexico try that again!!!)

Oh it doesn't end yet.....!

- If you successfully debug a code in BlitzMax, its because BlitzMax has decided to let your code run, NOT because you managed to debug it.

- Chuck Norris can kick anyone's ass, except for the geeky coder who knows BlitzMax.

- There is no such thing as a BlitzMax bug report, only useless complaints from whiny coders.

BlitzMax is hot in bed ... and goes all night.
