| I've just got my first lcd screen :) - omg so cool! - so I'm going to be spending wayyyy too much time on the computer in the near future and I figured I should do programming. Blitzmax has no documentation so I thought I'd ask the community what stuff I should learn. I've already gone through... - custom types - collisions - animations Now I'm wondering where to next. Remember: I am 15. So I don't want some 1337 crap :P Also would arrays be worth learning in blitzmax? Thanks in advance :) |

| Yes, Arrays are worth learning. How about reading and writing to files? I would also suggest learning how to use third-party DLLs or Windows API with BMax. That will always be helpful ;c) If you haven't done so, I really suggest studying this tutorial on BMax, it covers just about everything: Beginners Guide to BlitzMax |

| "1337 crap" is highly subjective :P If you like scripts, you could try to learn how to process and inteprete texts.. |

| bog snorkling! a skill you can take anywhere! failing that take a look into openGL The Nehe examples need updating (fairly trivial) but they are simple enough so that by understanding each one at a time you can get a good introduction into opengl |

| Unlearning 1337 language ;o) |

| Writing to files sounds interesting enough :) edit: just fixed my multidimensional array thanks to google =) Strict Graphics 1024,768,32,60,1 Local arr:Int[][] = [[1,2,3],[4,5],[6,7,8,9]] ' (0) (1) (2) DrawText "print 2 by 1 from our integer array, computer!",0,0 DrawText "Yes sir! - " + arr[2][1] + "- printed 2 by 1 sir!",0,16 Flip WaitKey() |
