BlitzMax for the Absolute Beginner

***Shameless plug time*** I'm working on a book at the moment called "BlitzMax for the Absolute Beginner". It's aimed at people who have never programmed a computer before and those who have not programmed games (and everyone in between.) The last project is called "Flood" and there is a screen grab For more info, and to keep informed about the book's progress visit http://sloankelly.blogspot.com .

@Puki: Sorry - I've never posted images / urls on this forum before! Hopefully that fixes it! If not let me know- screenshot shows on my browser... The blog has the screen shot on it too, if that helps

Hey, good luck with the book - it is a good idea. The screenshot isn't working directly.

@puki - hopefully that's fixed it ^^^ photos1.blogger.com/img/183/7476/640/flood.jpg

Maybe I should have called this post "Posting to BlitzMax for the Absolute Beginner!". Sorry to all.

I can see the picture now - I could see it before, I just had to manually get it.

is there a demo of that platform example we can try out?

Good idea - and good luck!

Seeing as I've had no luck with images, here goes with a zip! Sorry it's only Windows just now, I will try and post up a Mac version too - don't want to put off anyone! The book is aimed at *all* BlitzMax users! http://www.sloankelly.net/blog/flood.zip

And here it is for the mac --> http://www.sloankelly.net/blog/floodearly.app.sit . I don't have a Linux machine at the moment - working on it!
