Hi, BGT might come with many conveniences. But it also lacks many others. It also isn’t indicative of real world programming. Once you realise BGT’s limitations and want to move away from it, it’s much harder to do so because you end up relying on it. Especially if you’re a programming newbie and don’t have a clue how to write audio engines, let alone audio engines that can play multiple file types, whether packed or on disk, whether encrypted or open. Not to mention keyboard, mouse, joystick support, screenreader and SAPI support, timers, pathfinders, combination generators and calendars. The way I see it, scripting with something like BGT is like having an overprotective clingy parent that just won’t let go, whereas programming something like C++ or Python wants you to bend down and kiss its furry rosy smelling derriere before you can get it to work. Talking from experience here. Cheers. Damien.
