the stupid representation of blitzmax on the main website makes you belive that blitzmax is less worthy then blitz3d

its is wrong!

blitz3d should go out of market while blitzmax is the replacment.

or if blitz3d was a bit improved then it would be fine as well.

it lakes of object oriented .

Hi,sorry for my bad english.

I was tried BlitzMAX and Leadwerks Engine,but it wont
work for me.

I have BlitzMAX v1.18,v1.26,v1.33,v1.34,v1.36
And Leadwerks engine v2.27

I was tried the BM example of LE v2.27 on all versions of BM,but wont work.

BlitzMAX v1.18 and 1.26 say “Compile Error”
BlitzMAX v1.33 say “Failed to create world”
BlitzMax v1.34 say Build Complete but nothing happen.

BlitzMAX v1.36 say “Failed to create world”

What wrong with it?Enyone knows?

Anyway.I think Blitz3D+Xors3D much stable then BlitzMAX+LE
Xors3D has realy nice Shaders and easy to use.

‘Can we make 3D games with Blitz max? I’ve looked at the site and it says in the Blitz Max description:
“Create 2D Games for Windows, MacOS and Linux”
But your example looks like 3d.’

No. (and yes)
BlitzMax is a programming language.
The example is made with Blitzmax (win, mac osx, linux) AND LeadwerksEngine 2.0 (win). These are 2 independent products.

Of course if you dont’ want an AAA engine like Leadwerk Engine 2, you can use (with BlitzMax) the ‘free’ 3d module called MiniB3d (a sort of Blitz3d engine re-written partially in BlitzMax).

yay! Welcome to BlitzMax! It’s a great language, fun, quick to develop stuff in and powerful.

Sounds cool that you are planning tons of zombies. I love “hordes” like in Doom and Serious Sam, oh and Alien Shooter/Crimsonland etc.

Those who also know the Blitz3D language, might be positively surprised that Leadwerks Engine also comes with a C (and also C++) language interface which allows you to program just like in Blitz3D and in the BlitzMax version.

It works with Visual C++ 2008 Express, which is free. This means that you can only buy Leadwerks Engine and start writing AAAA games, as you don’t need to buy BlitzMax.
