It's for me really, I'm building it for myself... Too many BASIC languages of late have dropped by the way side, some engines just don't do what I want, or they are getting old... I was helping test LibSGD, Mark Sibly's last project he was working on before he passed away, I built an IDE to work with Blitz3D and LibSGD, but obviously, his project just stopped. I had a transpiler that converted BASIC to PHP, it worked great, but, not suitable for a game language. So, after he passed away, during Christmas and beyond, I updated a lot of my tools so they would work for game programming, I had an old DX9 lib I used, and well, I got that in, but then... It's old now, so started implementing that into DirectX12... No easy task, but, got my head around it, and, well, kept on going! :D

So yeah... All in all, it's for me, if other people want to use it, it will be available, and it will be great to see... But it's not a worry to me, I do this as a hobby see! :D Hehehe

And I've learnt so much from it too... Like, I was never a big "3D" developer, 2D mostly, but, this has forced me to understand all the concepts, the fundermentals and as such... That's priceless too! :)

The proof will be in the pudding when I finally make something "concrete", but, that's a few months away once I get it all Bristol fashion! :)

"And I've learnt so much from it too... Like, I was never a big "3D" developer, 2D mostly, but, this has forced me to understand all the concepts, the fundermentals and as such... That's priceless too! :)“ <---- Priceless! I am very pleased to hear this word used by you to express your thoughts. 

One more extra question. Why you chose the name BambooBasc? Any special reason?
