What is a .BB file?

The .BB file extension is used for a Blitz Source Code File. This means it's a text file that contains code written in Blitz, which is a special programming language made for creating video games. To turn the code in this file into a working game, it needs to be compiled. Compiling is a process that transforms the code into a format that a computer can understand and run. This is done using a Blitz compiler, which is a tool that comes with specific development software packages like BlitzMax, Blitz3D, or BlitzPlus.

Here's a bit more about the programs that can open and work with .BB files: 1. **Blitz Research BlitzMax**: This is a development environment that's based on the BASIC programming language but is designed for making cross-platform games, which means games that can run on different types of computers and operating systems.

2. **Blitz Research Blitz3D**: This program is focused on creating 3D games. It provides tools and features that make it easier to develop games with three-dimensional graphics.

3. **Blitz Research BlitzPlus**: This is aimed at developers who want to create simpler 2D games or applications. It's a bit easier to use if you're new to game development or if your project doesn't require complex 3D graphics.

In summary, if you have a .BB file, it's a piece of a game's source code written in the Blitz programming language. To open, edit, or compile this file into a game, you would use one of the Blitz Research programs like BlitzMax for cross-platform games, Blitz3D for 3D games, or BlitzPlus for simpler 2D games and applications. These tools provide everything you need to work with .BB files and turn your game ideas into reality.
