| Hi everyone. I'm new here and pretty hopeless at coding, but am going to give it my best shot trying to port some B3D code to BlitzMax so I can actually compile a game for my own platform, OS X. Please bare with me as I'll probably need a lot of help every step of the way. I have timer=CreateTimer(60)used for displaying logos at the beginning of the game and to have them displayed there for a certain amount of time. BlitzMax hasn't rejected this but it won't allow FreeTimer(timer)at the end before End Function. So I'm wondering what is the BlitzMax equivalent to this. |

| You can use: StopTimer( timer:TTimer ) As the documentation says: Once stopped, a timer can no longer be used. |

| Thanks for the quick assist :) |

| Hey cobra. Welcome! What did you use to write Soulless? :-) |
| ||
| Thanks Brucey. I started Soulless in NovaShell. But really can't code so didn't make a lot of progress. Then after searching for an engine that requires no programming I came across Power Games Factory. |

| Power Games Factory I'd never heard of it until now. A game-maker made with REALbasic... interesting :-) Programming is always something you can learn... and once you get the hang of it, you should find you can do much better than the constraints a game-maker holds you to. Just stick with it.. and you'll get there in the end! |
