    blitzbasic question....

    Im having sever computer problems....
    Im over seas so Ill need to send my computer home for repairs until the repairs are done I will need a computer.

    I might have access to a Celeron 400....
    Sad days ahead.....

    I was wondering if its realistic to try programming in Blitz Basic?
    Im trying to make a side scroller along the quality of old Genesis / SNES .


    Ill be using a trial version I got inside a book I bought...
    Until I actually make a game I dont think its worth purchasing the software


    Thanks for any input

    Keith

    Blitz should run JUST FINE on that Celeron 400. Actually make you optimize your code a bit

    Ya, having an old computer helps prevent bloatware

    By the way people say I can use Blitz Basic in Linux.
    Do you know if this is true?
    I cant find a build for linux.
    That would be cool

    Blitzmax is available for Linux. The other versions are only available for Windows.
