Really? My bad. I don't like it too much...

Also, technically PlayKode has a build to standalone app option, yet it's still a scripting language.

How does Blitzmax work then if it doesn't use assembly? Is it really compiling it or is it linking to a compiled language modified with APIs and such?

C is good for simple games, and from there you should learn another language. C++ is known for not actually being an extension to C, whilst Objective - C is.
