Some comments of my work on french and german forum

Post by BalrogSoft »

Hi, i was visiting french and german forums and i saw some comments, i don't know german or french to reply on these forums and i want to explain some things.

Fred have a registered version of VMM Basic, and i have his permission to distribute my language.

VMM Basic is my work of near one year and a half, i start work with ScriptVM a lot of time ago. It is based on my own code for all commands using API of win32 and DirectX 7.0.

VMM Basic is not super slow like some people says, it must be more slow than PB because the runtime is developed on PB but it is not slow for 2d games that is the main purpose of VMM Basic.

VMM Basic is not a copy of PureBasic, like PureBasic is not a copy of other languages. I bought PB because i like a lot how it is structured, brackets for commands, and other names are variables without brackets, flow control structures, commands that explain what make the command (This is really a basic language, commands that explain what make, maybe i copied the basic language itself), but PB is not the only language that have this things that i like on a basic language.
If you take a look to the system of window library, the system for directdraw sprites, and d3d sprites, and a lot of other features, you will find that VMM Basic is not a copy of PB. VMM Basic is a language for begginners for 2d game development and webcam game development. It have some features to make programming easy for beginners, like auto dll declarations, sprite animations, and on next version tile maps.

I want to explain these things because i don't want to find people asking about my language saying if it is legal or not... It is my work, and it was a hard task... It is not finished and i want to add more commands, like commands for tilemaps, making my language more different than PB.

When i was programming ScriptVM the code of first versions was shared with this forum, maybe my next projects will be not interesting for some users of these community that seem are not thankful with my work.

This is my opinion, sorry for my bad english, i hope that nobody will be angry with this post, this is not my intention...
