When it states that all must be declared, what exactly does that mean?

This is what I think it means. I think it means that all variables must be declared before use in a program.

Correct or incorrect.

Also, I dont understand any of this OOP stuff. I hope a tutorial on using OOP in games comes out coz I';m stumped right now.

Yes, strict means that the variables must be declared before they are used.

Correct. In BlitzMAX variable declaration is done using the Local or Global keywords. Fields using the Field or Global keyword.

I THINK the advantage is that when you mistype a variable name in your code by incident, it should occure an error, right?

Which makes me wonder,

is it also possible to check for unused variables and objects?
