Hi,

Can somebody tell me, if its possible to create executables
with BlitzMax. or can programs only be run from the editor.

Thanks

Yes of course both the demo and the full version are able to create executables

The EXE's are created automatically every time you run a program from the IDE. You'll find them in the same folder as your source with the same name as your source (although the debug enabled version will have 'debug' as part of the filename).

If you don't want a particular version overwritten, make a copy of it (along with any other files it will need) and place that somewhere else.

They can even be made rather small and still do quite a bit :) Quite a nice language indeed. If you want to make the .exe small youll have to learn about how to select what mods to use. I'm still learning that, but I manage.

You should try the excellent Framework Assistant from jb, a quite amazing tool :p :
