Blitz Research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blitz Research Ltd is an Auckland, New Zealand based company which currently produces 3 easy to use, BASIC based programming languages. Founded in 2000 by Mark Sibly, the company's first product was the now redundant Blitz Basic 2D, a PC version of the Amiga Blitz Basic. After this, Blitz3D was released. This allowed programmers to create 3D games and applications easily using DirectX.
A couple of years ago, Blitz Basic 2D was made redundant by the new BlitzPlus. BlitzPlus built on the foundations of Blitz Basic 2D and also allowed programmers to create true Microsoft Windows programs as well as games.
In December 2004, Blitz Research released BlitzMax programming language for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Unlike all the other Blitz programming languages, BlitzMax uses either OpenGL or DirectX.
Blitz Research also produces the Maplet modelling tool.
