Remember when programming was FUN? When you could fire up BASIC and just start creating? That spirit lives on in Dabzy's Bamboo BASIC! Old-school inspiration, modern possibilities!

Bamboo BASIC logo featuring a friendly black-and-white panda hugging a tall green bamboo stalk, surrounded by vibrant green leaves. Beneath the illustration, “BAMBOO” appears in bold black lettering, with “BASIC” in green below it, flanked by horizontal green lines. The tagline “A MODERN BASIC FOR GAME CREATORS” appears underneath in smaller black lettering. The design has a clean, polished, modern cartoon style against a white background.

For me PureBasic was the perfect BlitzBasic successor back then. It could do everything BlitzBasic could do, and then some, and also is a lot faster.
Was just happy to see, that the legacy lives on - one way or another. 💚

Interesting, also its roots in BlitzBasic (which I've been dabbling with quite a lot back then). These days I'm mostly working with PureBasic, though, which is basically C with a BASIC-Syntax.😅
Good luck with you project. Bookmarked it, may check it out sometimes.💚

I've programmed video games as a hobby since I was about 12 using BlitzBasic and AMOS on the Amiga, until recently using UE/Unity. I've released a couple, even an iPhone game. It was always a struggle solo.

Since "AI", I have lost motivation to do it and I'm not entirely sure why.

2000年代半ば、BlitzBasicやMultimedia Fusionの登場でインディーゲームへの関心が爆発した時期があったんだって！✨

昔のGame creation systemは使いやすさがメインだったけれど、21世紀のものは高度なスクリプトで自由度がぐんと上がっているんだよ🎮

Construct、Clickteam、Buildbox、Game Editor、GameSalad、GDevelop、Stencylといったツールが今も活躍しているんだね🚀

Was just reading that someone was making a PC version about 10 years ago, but was kyboshed because BlitzBasic went bye-bye.

He then tried to get it working in PureBasic - and nothing since.

Giving me ideas beyond my station...😂

In the past, I have used Realmcrafter, coded in Blitzbasic, very limited but easier for an hobby MMO.
Now the sources still exist (for free)

Ooooh! I got my BlitzBasic copy from the same (imported) Amiga Format issue, back in 1993!

What a lovely trip down memory lane!

BlitzBasic was basic-based, with all the built-in commands/libraries you'd expect to make 2D games; image loading, blitting, sound stuff, etc. Blitz3D added a basic OpenGL 3D engine on top of that. BlitzMax was a completely separate thing with entirely different syntax (Java-style, or maybe C# idk)

a different era than the BASIC prompts but when i was a kid, my dad picked this off the shelf at a book store. it comes with a CD that installs the custom IDE and everything for "BlitzBasic" (new age, still BASIC lol) It certainly didn't hurt that I had already become a solid poweruser on win95
The cover of a book called "Game Programming For Teens" (Third Edition). Black and lime-green letterboxing surrounds a generic "techy" scene with circuit patterns and game screenshots floating in a bluish "cyberspace".

I never did Applesoft BASIC, but my first language was BlitzBasic, and later I learned a bit of Visual Basic. Hard to tell if what I know would be useful without seeing code tho.

I used BlitzBasic/Blitz3d quite a lot around the early 2000's, at the time it was a great way to get into making simple games without getting bogged down in Windows shit.
its very strange timing but I was looking it up only yesterday after feeling the urge to look into it (and AMOS) again.
