B3D code to BlitzMax

Hi!Im new at BlitzMax,and i dont understand how to port this simple B3D code to BlitzMax.Please help me to port it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics 640,480,16,2
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

Global gfx_image = LoadImage("media\player.png")

Type player
Field x#,y#
Field image
End Type

Function create_player(x#,y#)
p.player = New player
p\x# = x#
p\y# = y#
p\image = gfx_image
End Function
Function update_player()
For p.player = Each player
DrawImage p\image,p\x#,p\y#
Next
End Function


create_player(x#,y#)

Repeat

update_player()

Flip
Cls

Forever

Graphics 640,480,16

Global gfx_image:TImage = LoadImage("media\player.png")

Type player
	Field x#,y#
	Field image:TImage
	
	Global playerList:TList

	Function Create(x#,y#)
		If playerList=Null Then playerList=CreateList()
		p:player = New player
		ListAddLast playerList,p
		p.x# = x#
		p.y# = y#
		p.image = gfx_image
	End Function

	Function Update()
		If playerList Then
			For p:player = EachIn playerList
				DrawImage p.image,p.x#,p.y#
			Next
		EndIf
	End Function
End Type

player.Create(x#,y#)

Repeat

	player.Update
	
	Flip
	Cls

Until KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Or AppTerminate()

I'll let you look up the differences and the new commands I've introduced in the docs yourself.

Basically, note the changes from '\' to '.' and '.' to ':', the introduction of TLists (as you now have to manage your own Type lists) and the moving of all player related Functions into the Type definition itself. You may also want to look up Methods for future use.

I've changed the Forever to a conditional test, as it's not good having an infinite loop with no way of breaking out of it (the close button doesn't work in BlitzMax unless you program it into your code - AppTerminate). There's also no scaled window mode, so the above will run fullscreen. For windowed, change the bitdepth to 0.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks a lot

its a rather tricky learning curve remembering what goes where but when ya been doing it a while it becomes second nature :)
