Just the thought of touching Basic anymore makes me shudder. I'm so stuck on C....

No, lets make a Visual Basic for Amiga, because Visual Basic is so much cooler then C/C++..

He he he..

People seem to enjoy AmiBlitz. Though if you are going to do anything having to do with the a GUI, you really should suck it up and actually learn a REAL language like C.

As long as you have access to the a parallel port in your desired language, you could use just about anything (unless you are stuck using a Windows NT, 2000 or XP system)

Err, your machines being too weak for C? The C language in more aspects impower your machines a lot more then the cripple ware limits imposed by a much higer level language like Basic.

The Apple II had C, the Ataris had C. Even the most ancient workstations that had less memory then most calculators today had C.

Even better would be getting a handle on 68K assembly language. Though nowadays for the most part it's a task akin to getting your teeth gouged out by rusty forks. The Super Nintendo freaks of the 90's did a lot of stuff with their Amiga's.
