New .decls file without the extra ODE_ prefixes

I cut out all the extra ODE_ prefixes. ODE commands already have the "d" prefix, and I didn't see a reason to add more characters.
For that matter, why the hell does BlitzMax use stupid "bgl" instead of "gl"? Are you going to forget that you are using Blitz, and you need a reminder every line? In that case, I suggest the following:
BlitzRulesDarkBasicSucksglBegin GL_LINES
BlitzRulesDarkBasicSucksglVertex3f 0.0,1.0,-1.0
BlitzRulesDarkBasicSucksglVertex3f 1.0,1.0,-1.0
BlitzRulesDarkBasicSucksglVertex3f 1.0,0.0,1.0
BlitzRulesDarkBasicSucksglEnd
Much more effective.

It's one letter.
I can probably count at least 10 words in that post which you did not need to write.


JoshK(Posted 2005) [#3]
Yeah, but I only wrote this once. You write gl commands thousands of times.

I agree with you on this one.
Thanks Halo

Ah well... It's nothing personal by the way - I just don't yet understand why people don't like simple prefixes like bgl. ODE_ is definietly a bit overdone.
