What is Blitz Basic??
Real Game Programming ...
Game programming has been a mystery to most people. Only those 'magical' people known as C++ programmers once had the power to build super-fast, high action Windows games harnessing the power and flexibility of DirectX. Other 'click' tools promised you quality games with ease; but Blitz Basic is the first language to deliver it all ...
Finally - Power to the People
Blitz Basic let's you create the games of your dreams - in an easy to use language similar to the popular BASIC languages (QuickBasic, QBasic, Visual Basic, etc.). Even if you don't know any other languages, Blitz Basic makes it easy to get started. You don't need to know any 'scary' stuff like C or Assembler to code lightning fast, attractive games that run under Windows 9x or 2000.
A Real Language to Make Real Games
We know you've probably been let down by other 'game makers' out there. We understand your frustration. We are game players and creators ourselves - we know what its like to have a dream game only to find out you are completely limited by someone else's idea of what a game should be. Blitz Basic is a REAL language - complete with hundreds of powerful commands designed specifically for making games (not applications or 'demos'). This isn't a 'click' and create package but a real programming language that could be your ticket into the video gaming industry!
But can it ...?
Yup! Probably so! See, Blitz Basic was written by an experienced game language programmer and die-hard game writer/gamer. Blitz Basic was created to offer up all the ease and power of the hottest development tool while keeping the language simple enough for everyone (not just professionals). It uses DirectX - the engine that powers a huge amount of commercial games that are probably already installed on your computer. You will be tapping the same power as the pros! It compiles your game into super fast machine code - offering you the ability to unleash just about any game you can (and can't) imagine! Being DirectX, you can be assured of great compatibility with the latest hardware.
But I'm a professional programmer ...
GREAT! Instead of wading through tens of thousands of lines of code; instead of spending all your time writing your own DirectX wrappers and functions; instead of licensing engines and SDKs; free yourself! Spend your time designing good games instead of writing functions and debugging code. Yes, Blitz Basic is fast ... very fast.
