I have a more general question about learning coding in Bmax. I have strarted to learn in a particular way - but going through forums/tuts etc I see a different way/method of writing the code, this is really hard to explain - the way I keep seeing involves types extend from each other and have methods (to create) and functions all within the type (involves more inheritance - is this right?). The way I have been learning looks more straight forward I guess. Which is the best way to keep going? I think Im just after some reassurance and to make sure Im going the right way.

There is no really right or wrong way, if it works it is good enough. Using Types and extending them is only a way for the developer to make the code better readable/maintainable/to work with. Basically it can make the developers life easier. So if you are just programming a little game don't use Types for the sake of using Types. Last edited 2011
