Blitz BASIC is the programming language dialect of the first Blitz compilers, devised by New Zealand-based developer Mark Sibly. Being derived from BASIC, Blitz syntax was designed to be easy to pick up for beginners first learning to program. The languages are game-programming oriented but are often found general purpose enough to be used for most types of application. The Blitz language evolved as new products were released, with recent incarnations offering support for more advanced programming techniques such as object-orientation and multithreading. This led to the languages losing their BASIC moniker in later years. The first iteration of the Blitz language was created for the Amiga platform and published by the Australian firm Memory and Storage Technology. Returning to New Zealand, Blitz BASIC 2 was published several years later (around 1993 according this press release ) by Acid Software (a local Amiga game publisher). Since then, Blitz compilers have been released on several platforms. Following the demise of the Amiga as a commercially viable platform, the Blitz BASIC 2 source code was released to the Amiga community. Development continues to this day under the name AmiBlitz. Idigicon published BlitzBasic for Microsoft Windows in October 2000. The language included a built-in API for performing basic 2D graphics and audio operations. Following the release of Blitz3D, BlitzBasic is often synonymously referred to as Blitz2D. Recognition of BlitzBasic increased when a limited range of "free" versions were distributed in popular UK computer magazines such as PC Format. This resulted in a legal dispute between the developer and publisher which was eventually resolved amicably. In February 2003, Blitz Research Ltd. released BlitzPlus also for Microsoft Windows. It lacked the 3D engine of Blitz3D, but did bring new features to the 2D side of the language by implementing limited Microsoft Windows control support for creating native GUIs.

Strong and weak typing

In computer programming, one of the many ways that programming languages are colloquially classified is whether the language's type system makes it strongly typed or weakly typed (loosely typed). However, there is no precise technical definition of what the terms mean and different authors disagree about the implied meaning of the terms and the relative rankings of the "strength" of the type systems of mainstream programming languages.

Blitz Basic

BlitzBasic désigne à la fois le langage de programmation de type BASIC et l'Environnement de développement intégré du même nom, pour les plateformes AmigaOS et Windows. Néanmoins la version AmigaOS de BlitzBasic, Blitz2, est disponible gratuitement aujourd'hui. La version Amiga n'est plus développée depuis sa version 68x00, mais le système de bibliothèques utilisé par les fonctions du BlitzBasic permettent un semblant de maintien du langage, et son utilisation sur des systèmes à base de PPC.

C++

C++ est un langage de programmation compilé permettant la programmation sous de multiples paradigmes, dont la programmation procédurale, la programmation orientée objet et la programmation générique. Ses bonnes performances, et sa compatibilité avec le C en font un des langages de programmation les plus utilisés dans les applications où la performance est critique. Créé initialement par Bjarne Stroustrup dans les années 1980, le langage C++ est aujourd'hui normalisé par l'ISO.
