| I read on another forum (here is the link in case you are wondering: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=7916.0;wap2) that there is a tutorial on Wikipedia that is really good. i looked on Wikipedia and i could not find a single tutorial. if anyone knows were the this is can you tell me the link. also do you guys know of any real good tutorials of blitz plus. i am no programmer by any means and have very little knowledge on this subject. the more simple they get the better. |

| Andy McAdam's Blitz tutorials are generally very highly regarded: http://www.youtube.com/amcadam26 I'm not sure how specific they are to BlitzPlus, but the 2D ones are probably the same from BlitzPlus to Blitz3D anyway. |

| yes these are good but i have one question. is there a difference between plus and 3d, because when i type the rect commands to make 20 random squares i get 20 in a 3d demo but only get 1 in plus. any ways, thank you for your help. |

| There aren't supposed to be any major differences in the 2D graphics system (the only one I can think of is that in BP the Input and Print commands connect to the console instead of the window), but in practice a few differences do exist. I guess you could always use the B3D demo to learn the basics of the language, when tutorials work differently between the two, and come back to your full BP version when you're ready to write your own code? |

| You can also buy this book from amazon. Its very good with a disc thats shows you all the ins and outs. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Programming-Teens-Maneesh-Sethi/dp/1598635182/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361734071&sr=8-1 |

I'm writing a simepl game in blitz plus now actually (using it to prototype games for Android) and will upload the source code when it's done, as well as a demo video on Youtube. |

| The best way to learn is from code examples. Make ur self a personal lib of your small tests. Dont trust your memory. |
