Advantages of c?

staticgerbil · 05 May 2003, 09:48

Just wondering if there is any great advantage of using a c compiler over blitz?

Is there much/any speed diference?

Yes, there is a big speed difference.

It's much harder to program in C/C++ than in Blitz Basic, but C/C++ is a professionally-used, cross-platform language.

I have already done a fair bit of c stuff on pc so should i just stick to that rather than use blitz?

what compilers are good?
is that dev cd worth buying for stormc?

What are you planning to program?

staticgerbil · 05 May 2003, 14:30

probably games and demo's more than anything.

maybe some basic 3d stuff.

would love to do a field hockey game. can't work out any good control schemes though

need more buttons!

Blitz Basic is good - you should try it.

can you code for cd32 joypads?

i had a library for them in amos at one stage. been a while since i have used amos. can't remember if i got it working?

I'm sure there is some support for CD32 joypads in Blitz, either natively or via add-ons.

This website has lots of Blitz stuff:
