I very often would like to submit suggestions to BRL, but there are no suggestion boxes, or suggestion forums. I think that having a suggestion box (or form?) would really give that "open ear" from the BRL technical staff. I am sure that most of not all of BRL's products can benefit from user input and suggestions in regards to features, not just fixes. I'm positive that this thread will lead to absolutely nothing. But here are my suggestions in regards to Blitz3D:
- Fix the most relevant bugs of the IDE
- Increase speed of text functions as well as string manipulations
- Add a short and byte data type
- Let the devs have access to function pointers so we can do some funky stuff like calling a function depending on some variable
- Have the SELECT / CASE use a jump table on the byte type (only if there were a byte type)
- Add the possibility of compile switches from the code. A little like C, where you would put conditions in the code. It would mostly be used as a way to compile a module that works, say with Ashadow or without, and I'd put a switch in there relative to the existence of a variable.
There are probably a lot more urgent things than this, but I tought of putting it down in here as a "wish list".
Cheers.
