Class keyword feature request...
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Class keyword feature request...
| ||
I was wondering how hard it would be for mark to make a new keyword called "class" and have it act 100% like type. I am use to calling types classes in other programming languages. |
| ||
No offense, but this kind of request is pointless (for the language as a whole) and leads to bloat. That said, there are several precompilers available for blitz which you could use to add all this type of functionality and more. |

What Nomen Luni said ^^ Its as mad as asking for Images to be called Sprites, 'because that's what we're used to'. |

Alias. thats what we want. (Specialy as its already there as a keyword) I know it wont help give us "Class" as a Keyword, But Alais as a variable duel nameing .... err namer |
| ||
And a proper preprocessor, a "struct" keyword, multiple inheritance/interfaces. These have been asked for not long after the language got released, don't hold your breath getting any feature requests implemented. |
| ||
How often does one type "TYPE" anyway? Is it really so hard to do so? 90% of all development time is spent on reading/thinking, 10% on typing. Maybe even less.. |
| ||
Its as mad as asking for Images to be called Sprites, 'because that's what we're used to'. Or rather a Blitter Object Block, or alternatively CPU Object Block. Sprites are ghey. |
| ||
Give yourself a chance and get used to the language : I know the very basics of programming, such as variables, functions, and simple stuff like that. But none of this "type" stuff ... and most of the other stuff there is. |

Sprites pwn Flameduck. |

Calling Images Sprites would be dodgy, but Sprites are a perfect term for on screen, moving images! Just like buttons, and windows, and list views are not Controls, they're Gadgets! ;) |
