Hi all,

Many people looking for books like i did before (2 days before the day i wrote this post :D ).

ok, i found 2 books related to Blitz Basic.i think it's same language as BlitzMax (as far as i read till now)

Yes, BlitzMax is a very easy language (for experience programmer). we still need to read books which shows Game design pattern ( so that we dont need to rethink how to start our own game architecture), such as creating base class, adding to Tlist on it's own bluh blah blah...

(please buy from respected publisher),

BTW:following is my suggesstion for blitz website's webmaster
why not forum in Blitz website upgrade to better one?
textbox in forum post page is too small and search function is not much help full. such as if i want to look for all the post for a particular author it's not helping.

~TIN~

so here i have uploaded 2 books in to my webserver.
have fun and pls destribute (please buy from respected publisher), but i found on free download website and just share it.



I can't believe the book is supposed to be free... is it?
If not, then redistributing it is a bit naughty.
P.s. You can search for all posts made by an author containing certain keywords OR click the authors name and list all their posts.
p.p.s bmax<>blitzbasic

If you want a decent book about programming, then forget Games Programming for Teens. Having seen it I can't believe anybody would be cheeky enough to ask money for it. It doesn't explain things well at all and I dare say I could do better myself, if I could be bothered. Its evident that towards the end the author was fed up of writing it as it becomes even more vague and useless than it was at the start.

On the other hand, its a published book so you should probably remove the links to warezed PDF/CHM copies from your post. It might be crap but its still protected by Copyright.

as tonyg points out, they are worthless for BM anyway.
BM changed many things in an elemental way and using blitz basic will only make sure it will be even harder to understand BM

I have been reading parts of 'Code Craft' which is a very simple and good book on structuring 'great' code (as the author puts it)

What books did he post up? Just the 2 'teen' books?
