Mark Sibly is a New Zealand based developer who devised Blitz BASIC, the programming language dialect interpreted by the first Blitz compilers. Blitz BASIC is derived from BASIC and its syntax was designed to be easy to pick up for beginners first learning to program; the dialect is game-programming oriented but general purpose enough for most kinds of application. According to the English Wikipedia article on the language, Blitz BASIC originated in 1990 on the Commodore Amiga and was released for Microsoft Windows from the year 2000 onwards, and the Blitz products were shelved as a commercial product around 2015 and released as free and open-source software. The sources read give no further biographical details about him, so this entry says nothing beyond his role in the language.
