I was only a hobbyist programmer when I began, but it was the BlitzBasic, BlitzMax suite that really opened my mind to object-oriented programming. Mark put so much effort into these, and it shows. He was kind and answered a lot of my questions about programming. He will me missed.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blitzresearch.itch.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blitzresearch.itch.io</a>
