BlitzMax Design Patterns

| Hallo. I've created a new BlitzMax NG resource that some of you may find interesting. It is various design patterns implemented in BlitzMax : https://woollybah.github.io/blitzmax-design-patterns/ NG, because it comprises language features such as Interfaces and method overloading. Have fun ! Site design and original code ported to BlitzMax from the java-design-patterns project. |

| It is interesting to see that I have done some of these things "intuitively" in a very similar way - without knowing the "pattern". Some of these patterns look a bit esoterical to me - or hmm "could be done with one of the other patterns". Think most of the time the main problem is: how to find out, which pattern to use best for your problem. And, to recognize the problem before starting to write some code. Regarding "singleton pattern": Is there a reason to have "final" there? I avoid this to be able to extend a basic "singleton" with a more advanced one. The advanced one then converts to "TAdvanced" if instance is not "TAdvanced" yet. It returns "global instance:TBase" casted to "TAdvanced". Which pattern to choose then to avoid this? "Singleton" + "Component"? The components then get the "singleton" passed as parameter (to eg. access the properties of the singleton - lists, maps, ...) Questions as the one above are what makes me left puzzled most of the times and just doing it "intuitively" (which is not the best thing very often :-)). bye Ron |

|  Is there a reason to have "final" there?  No, it doesn't need to be there :-) |

| Thanks for posting this, Brucey... not sure design patterns are my cup of tea (all seems too formal/businesslike for my hobbiest's taste), but I am at least curious due to my recent dabblings in C++. Having examples in a familiar language may help me grasp/appreciate them somewhat... |

| Cool stuff. It's also a nice crisp looking website :o) |

| The design isn't mine but I did a complete rewrite of it using aurelia (for some practice). It's not quite so flashy as the original, but is functional enough for its purpose :-) I'm looking to add some more patterns in the future. |

| Nicely done Brucey! |

| /moved to NG since that's now a thing. |

| Thanks Brucey for publishing this. I am surprised how much I have done it these ways already. But still, create resource by itself. |
