Language Features

Language Features

What the language itself has, the same in BlitzBasic, Blitz3D and BlitzPlus: control flow, functions, loops, types, keywords, math, strings, random numbers and time. Many of these are keywords the compiler understands by itself, the rest are commands. See also the Language overview.
