Syntax compatibility

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Syntax compatibility

Just wondering if anyone knows if the code used in B+ will be compatible with BMax when it's released? I just bit the bullet, swallowed some pride and bought B+ and was just wondering if I will be able to add cross-platform and API functionality when BMax hits the street...

Any ideas?

Mark goes the great efforts to maintain compatibility across the Blitz range. When he changes the syntax it is usually for good reason and even then it doesn't happen often.

I imagine minor changes on the whole. So, don't worry.

Cool. I figured as much, but thought I'd ask anyways :) Sensible syntax is one of Blitz's\Mark's best strongpoints. Very well thought-out (a lot of thought given to the future, it seems).

p.s. Matrix Reloaded is excellent ;)

Probably the same sort of significance the B2D-->B+ move had - not a lot for most ppl. (Lots and lots for me but I always was a 'dodgy brothers' coder:)
