| Ok, I own BlitzBasic, BlitzPlus, and Blitz3D. I loved BlitzBasic and was deeply engrained in Blitz3D (was on the beta team actually) until my life absconded my fun coding time from me. Now I finally have some time to do some coding again and I see that the long awaited (at the time) BlitzMax is out. I want to try BlitzMax and see that there is a demo out for it which as always is sweet. It's a 30 day trial. I have an idea for a very quick and easy game I want to make using it to test its capabilities. My Question is... is the 30 days 30 uses or calendar days and is it restricted in some way? I only ask to use my time effectively. Skully |

| Its 30 days from when you first install it and the module source code is not included. |
| ||
| So in other words don't install it until I have clear sailing for 30 days ;) LOL Thanks! Skully |

| So in other words don't install it until I have clear sailing for 30 days ;) LOL Well..yeah if you want to get as much time out of the demo as humanly possible. I only ran the demo once before purchasing the full version! |
| ||
| Theres a very good chance that I will buy it shortly after too but I'm a strong try before you buy type. I bought BlitzPlus without really thinking and found that Blitz3D was still more of what I wanted. I don't want to do the same with Max. Of course Max looks to be a vast language improvement over previous versions, not to mention the cross platform support! I even have a project I want to try in Max so thats a bonus too. Most of the time my project ideas exist in 3D space, but being a new Dad I have some ideas for some kids games. Skully |

| You definately want to do a 2D game first as blitzmax has no native 3D code. Only raw OpenGL support 3D. (3D module on the way though but no eta.) |
| ||
| BRL ETA:6 months. My ETA:18+... =] |
| ||
| I highly recommend BlitzMax myself, only thing is the editor sucks, but you get used to it. |
| ||
| That's what BLIDE (or Protean) is for. |
| ||
| Protean is still beta for blitzmax, the second it isn't I would buy it, but the dude that makes it is too busy |
| ||
| We'll probably have to wait for the new GUI. BLIDE is highly unstable and protean is way to bloated. I could hardly find the source window for all the other c**p windows :) |
