A downloadable tool

This is an important update (actually the only one so far). A nasty bug was fixed and support for 2-dimensional arrays added, among other additions and bugfixes.

BB2JS allows to develop in BlitzBasic (with a reduced instruction set tho, yet covering everything crucial IMHO) and then convert it to a html page that is platform-independent (whereas the BlitzBasic compiler produces Win32 EXEs only).

This zip file contains docs, examples, the converter sourcecode for blitzbasic and the html page template. Also a link in the docs to the now free Blitz3D compiler/IDE.

It would also be nice to abstract or separate the webgl or graphic commands apart from the logic or syntax stuff, kind of making a headless or console version of it.

This one is pretty obsolete and still contains string.replace() where string.replaceAll() should be used. Better use the online version of BB2JS. Develop in blitz 2D, following the special rules for BB2JS, then copy paste the two parts (init and main loop job) to the browser at https://jfkeo1010etc.itch.io/bb2js-online-version . That said, it does not use WebGL, but plain 2D canvas commands.

Thanks! 👍

Thank you very much. Pity ATM I cannot watch youtube vids, if you give me the URL to the vid, I can DL and watch it. The reason why comments are off in the game page is, I tried to debug a key binding conflict with the space key, assuming it had to do with the comment textarea autofocus or something.
