I have completed a comprehensive walkthrough tutorial on how to make a verticle shooter, step by step! This tutorial is indexed with a table of contents and includes the source. check it out here: http://www.shmup-dev.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tutorials:BlitzMAX:Creating_a_Vertical_Shooter No knowledge of BlitzMax is required, and no media is needed to download! Once you finish this tutorial you will know how to use Types. You'll also know how to make a group of enemies and handle each one's attributes like their position and their hitpoints. you'll learn how to make dynamic explosions, and a playership that moves left and right and shoots! It was designed in wiki, so you have my permission to copy and paste the wiki-source over to blitzwiki. |
