Always good to have more books  Book section added. I just created a single Entertainment/Books area, since I figured it probably wouldn't be used that much. I also added Entertainment/Film+TV, and Entertainment/Music -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I just got my copy today and it's HUGE... A4 sized and an inch or two thick. Takes it very slow so anyone should be able to follow it and get into coding using this book. I love that the focus is on Retrogames too, as that is my cup of tea. Here's a pic of me reading it. LOL Linko Booko NotScrewUpTheWidtho -=-=- www.tcksoft.co.uk www.retroremakes.com

i really want ion seeing as i have BMax and almsot anythign would be better than Pure's default 3D engine. i hope ion3D will use DX7, for my crappy computers to run it -=-=- i like green haired girls... |

That's not that massize. It's not small, but most text books are that big. My copy of Objects First looks around 50% thicker, and isn't too far short of A4. You should see the Java reference volumes you can get, now their big. |

hi Diablos, hey talk about thick books. I have a few that are over 1200 pages long. Even this one science fiction paperback by Orson Scott Card...'Enders Game'...is very thick and long too. That Hydra book is 900 pages long too. And thank gosh I have Andres' updated book on 'Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus' in ebook format. talking about just Ion...I still want to try out the demo for Cobra. But yes I admit I'm more interested in this Ion and for Pure Basic. I have Pure Basic anyway. I don't like that Ogre3d too. cheers, mousey power |

hyrule, is that one from Micosoft thats the comprehensive API reference guide? If not, it sounds like it would some comprehensive one. With 1500 pages...that would take me probably years to read and study. cheers power mousey  |

yeah, thats the one. I was going to download it...or certain sections of this book by permission from the author..when downloading some programming language.I can't remember the programming language....but the download for the win32 api reference was really long too. I um cancelled the download. cheers, power mousey |

The book looks good. Many of these coding sites are overlooking B3D for some reason.

That's because it's far less known and used when compared to a lot of free languages. My programming lecturer has never heard of Blitz Basic. He had heard of AMOS. |
