| What is the difference? I am a registered user of BlitzBasic and want to know... 1) Is it a different product? 2) Can I upgrade for free? |

| It is a different product. It is not a free upgrade. I think you have to purchase a brand new one at full price now. |

| What is the difference? 1. Faster, no longer used the dated DirectDraw unless you want it. You can use the native driver (no DX perfect for apps) or Open GL driver (perfect for 2D games and faster than DX (in my tests)) or it also can use DX1 for the graphics driver which is more compatible than the original BB, although as noted in my tests, slower then OGL driver. 2. Normal Windows GUI capabilities (a tad limited) but what is there is VERY good and stable. 3. Event driven language. May take a day or two to get your head around it, if you have never programmed directly for Windows itself and had to process events. Awesome for applications and 2d games and there is a OGL 3D engine on the way via a 3rd party: http://www.binary-people.com/app.php?id=4 |
