Hi, I'm a beginner to using Blitzmax with C++. I have most of my iphone game written in C++, but I would like to call the generic C++ code from blitzmax instead of porting it. If I understand right it should be doable without any problems since it is pure logic with the odd malloc or two. I would also love the C++ code to somehow call a Blitzmax function if that is possible. If I can do this, I can deploy to 3 platforms at the same time :) Would like some pointers where to begin doing this, or even if its possible. The C++ code is just game logic, ai, decision making stuff, and does not depend on any platform specific calls.

If you want to keep it simple don't call BlitzMax from your c++, you will end up with a cleaner more orthogonal encapsulation to put you off perhaps this will help

Didn't Brucey wrap ImageMagic? It's always worth checking out Brucey's Mods. Cheers Charlie

Oooh, what's orthogonal mean?

I was thinking it meant the dependency graph flowed in a single direction, but after googling it, it seems I was just making it up in an attempt to sound educated, which I'm not.
