Does BlitzPlus & Blitz3D is compatible with BlitMAX? Is there a difference between each?

For me I'd say it's almost compatible. There's also a bb2bmx converter if you use BlitzMax Community IDE. It's not a perfect solution so you may have to do some recoding on some parts and depending on your code.

BlitzPlus & Blitz3D are similar languages. Blitz3D is older and includes a DirectX 7 based 3D engine, as well as non-hardware accelerated 2D drawing commands. BlitzPlus is focused on 2D drawing and uses hardware accelerated 2D.

BlitzMax is a more advanced language that uses a different syntax to the others. It also includes hardware accelerated 2D drawing and has a variety of modules available to expand it's capabilities.
