T-C's Blitz TutorialsGuide for clueless and serious coders :)https://www.bettiesart.com/tc/blitz/ |
This is my good 'ol Blitz tutorial site, specifically geared towards game development and clueless coders  Although it also contains more elaborate topics, it serves as a guiding light in the Blitz language, which can also serve as a base for programming in general. Here's an index: - Finding directions in game development - Blitz full foundation tutorial - Relative positioning in a game world - Vectors and Sine waves - Universal conversion - Tilemap implementation - The making of X-NON |

Hey man I was wondering if you'd tried or heard of Cobra. It finally arrived As it's so new, there's understandably a shortage of tutorials, and perhaps you can use your tutorial writing experience to fill this gap Hey, what's this X-NON? Any screenshots?  Cheers. |

any news, hobo about the arrival or the prophetic utterings of the First Coming of Cobra 3d. My prophetic Sixth and Seventh senses tell me: Basic will go Nuclear very soon.  cheers

Wow! Very good! I looked at the tilemap one and thought it was great, although it doesn't cover having the tile map bigger than the screen, although to achieve this would it involve using knowledge from the relative positioning tutorials as well? I'm so tired, excuse the question if its stupid The layout and explanations are very good!

Hi HoboBen Yes, I've seen Cobra, but I don't like it as much as Blitz My favorite language would be where you don't write code, but only english instead (or dutch lol). I do know Pascal and Delphi which Cobra resembles, but I prefer sticking with Blitz -- it is my new home About X-NON; here's a screenie for ya It's a split-screen game, but I don't want to release it until the tutorial is done, which, in fact, I've been playing with again the last few days.

Thanks, mole! Yes, the relative positioning thingies are intended to help the programmer's orientation and awareness of relations between variables It's not that difficult though. The only things you'd have to add in the tilemap program is offset variables for the view position (like a camera).

Ah, mole: the bottom of that Tilemap page says exactly what you are referring to  There is a part in X-NON combining those, though. But in all honesty, camera offset + object offset does not seem very difficult to me
