GLBasic is pretty damn fast. That and when you make your own entity system you get better result
This lastest stress test for the GLB conversion of Shield Breaker feature 200 blocks and unlimited shooting. So its kind of cheating. But hey, its a future powerup.
All this done on an -unplugged- netbook with camstudio running in fullscreen.
C++ is faster.
*cue massive flamewar involving GearGOD*I don't get it.
GLBasic is not fast. Except if you compare it to slow stuff. Like blackhole said, C++ is THE WAY for SPEED.
It would also take me a lot longer to code it in C++, then even longer to convert it to other platforms. So in my mind its faster than alternatives.
See this is what happens when I try to be funny :C
Its all good.
