I bought 3D game programing for teens about a year ago. The book was great and I've read it cover to cover 10 times. I was wondering if there are any other books on Blitz Basic, maybe a little more advanced. Thanks!

Yes it does.

3D Games Programming for Teens, as its name suggests, covers three dimensions and wasn't written by Manesh Thingy.

3d game programming for teens is written by Maneesh Sethi and Eric Grebler

perhaps the 2nd edition or something, i dont recall seeing his name on my copy

ive bought most blitz related books to see how they help you "make a game", i also got the vb game making for teens one too as that focused on a specific genre, but failed to deliver anything of substance aside from iir a trading module and basic pointers in rpg coding, which was developed better in swords and circuitry and other game dev books by the same publisher

i had never heard of manesh sethi[?] or thingy as gfk put it, it wasnt the real name of a prolific blitzer, just some guy who got a book deal to write for a lesser known language
i do wonder what would have happened to that book if someone else from here had written it instead
