Hey, I was wondering if BlitzMax supports multithreading. If so, how does it compare with Java with the instantiation?
Eg. does it support synchronization?

The dev version (via SVN) supports threading.

Can't answer the rest of your question, though, as I'm not too clued up on such things.

It currently provides Threads, Mutex, Signal, Locking and Waiting features for synchronisation, although it is new so your probably best searching on here for some examples to see how it compares with Java.

Note that BlitzMax does not support thread specific language features like java's built in volatile variable command or syncronize methods, so you will need to hand code any syncronisation hot spots.

Is there any examples?
