Can I develop iOS apps with this?

[amcadam26]

@proudy97 no, blitz3D is only for Windows.

[Friedtunafish77]

is this better tha visual basic? I heard it is easy too and like a "preparer" for c++

[amcadam26]

this is completely different to visual basic. I'd never recommend using Blitz to write a business application, the same as I wouldn't recommend VB for writing space invaders.

[Sticky1254]

That is the weirdest syntax. Ever.

[Bankser888]

Hey can you give a link for the program you are using?

[TheShahzeab]

while(isSmart == false){

stop.vc(); stop.gc();

}

}

@darkdevil905 VB6 is actually a great beginning to code place. It is also great if your a good coder in it. Depends on what you wish to code. If you want to think that, go for it. Its your opion, but I just think its stupid.

[darkdevil905]

@lilwarthog Well mate, it's true that Blitz is in a higher level then C++ but trying VB6 now that is really high level

VB6 sucks now and it will suck forever !
