i have installed this Blitz3D version on winxp and win7. it has many tutorials, lessons and examples. it runs okay in win7 but have the impression it is speedier in windows 7. it could be i heard because win7 are more optimised for cpu ix-xx than winxp. but i use winxp because i find it more comfortable.
my cpu is i5-2500 3.3 GHZ.

It would be more interesting if they open sourced Blitz3D SDK.
The DLL would give us another 3D engine to use with PureBasic.

Well, all the sources for Blitz3D engine are there now... so you should be able to make a static (PB-Lib) or dynamic (DLL) library from it,
if you like to have a 15 years old DirectX 7 3D game engine for PB. Changing and using the stuff is part of the freedom of OpenSource.

It's somehow pretty big amount of work to keep a 15 year old engine still running on current OS.

Well, btw that remind me some old BASIC languages...

edit by fred: we don't accept link lists
DUE TO FORUM RULES YOU SHOULD: Google
"FreeBasic"
"RapidQ"
"Creative Basic Free"
instead, as it seems providing a valid language list is not good idea here.

They're still alive and kicking...
