| Are these 2 version's of Blitz totally compatible? They seem to have all the same commands! |

| BlitzBasic is not a version, but a programming language. BRL sells: BlitzPlus Blitz3D BlitzMax None are totally compatible. Each have their own unique benefits. Each are based off of the BlitzBasic language. They once sold a product called Blitz2D? or BlitzBasic? but it is now obsolete and unsupported. As far as I know, BlitzPlus and Blitz3D can both perform the same functions that the original Blitz2D did. |

| BlitzBasic is not a version, but a programming language. BRL sells: BlitzPlus Blitz3D BlitzMax ...Plus they used to sell the now-discontinued 'BlitzBasic', now mostly referred to as Blitz2D. Anyway, BlitzBasic is where it all started. BlitzPlus is a newer version, and supports pretty much all the BlitzBasic commands, but has been partially rewritten. It is a little bit faster in places, has some added features (such as the ability to talk to the windows API, has built-in GUI commands so you can create 'windows' programs as well) More importantly, BlitzPlus is currently still supported and receives the occasional bugfix / update, although at a lesser rate than BlitzMax & Blitz3D do. |
