Although satisfied with blitz I am looking for a game engine to use as well as blitz. I have tried demos of 3d game studio and Torque engine. I didn't like 3dgs and couln't figuer out Totque. I know c language but not c++. I already have Fpsc which is good but limited. Any suggestions?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Alternatives Beginning C++ Game Programming by Michael Dawson. Seems a bit simplistic if you already know programming (as a concept) but it introduces useful knowledge in a very subtle way quite early on in the book.
A grasp of what OOP actually means is a good starting point but the book assumes no knowledge of C++ whatsoever.

TrueVision3D beats everything else I've tried.
Try 3Impact.......
TrueVision3D looks really intresting gabe. 6.5 looks to have a pretty complete feature set too. Maybe I should learn C#
Yeah, C# is a pretty simple language to learn, and it works fairly well with TrueVision. Or there's the waiting-to-be-released BlitzMax version of Truevision as well.
6.5 does indeed seem to cover all the features you would want from a game engine, at least all the features I would want. It's pretty much on a par with B3D for simplicity of use. Sure it takes a while to get a handle on how things work, as did B3D, but everything is pretty high level, and even using a custom HLSL shaders is just a matter of a few instructions in TV3D.
And in everything I've tested, t's very, very fast.
