Hi everyone,

After taking quite awhile out from using blitz3d I have pretty much forgotten all that I have learnt, not that it was much.

Could anyone point me in the right direction on where to learn the basics once again.

Cheers,

The documentation has some helpful tutorials I think..the ones that come with blitz3d, as far as I remember...

Are we talking basic programming knowledge (loops/variables/conditional statements etc)

Hi Matt,

Yes I am talking basic programming knowledge, I just want to refresh myself of the syntax.

Samples. Look at samples that people have done, the results they make, and what code it took to produce it.

I'd advise not focusing so much on demos of a certain effect or technique (like the ones in the Samples folder), but rather more "complete" games with menu screen, game loop and etc. (like the ones in the Games folder).
These should give you the knowledge you want, until after a lot of study and practice you get to a point where you can develop your own techniques and methods.

You'll remember the syntax as well as freshen up your game logic mindset.
