What would be a good idea for a first application. I can't think of anything not overly challenging, or not too easy.
Also, probably something along the lines of GUI.

First App
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/First App a simple breakout clone was my first project... with some help of the blitz community it was fun, and i learned all the basics, and some more advance things
To quote wargames the movie -- would you like to play a game? (tic-tac-toe)
I started using Tic-Tac-Toe for learning languages and technologies within them. Its a nice break from "Hello World!". You could even evolve it into a networked version after you get it going.
Try a simple web brower or mini text editor...
App. Hmm what are you using MaxGUI?
Yeah a text editor with a menu and save and font dialog will be good. It's the first app I made in DElphi about 10 years ago.

How about this:
One window with two canvases, in one "image canvas" you can load any image, in the other "zoom canvas" you see the image, zoomed, based on where the cursor is in the image canvas.
That's not too difficult really, teaches you essential File menu things, imagebuffer things and mouse-events things. Something like this was my first serious B+ app (after toying with 10-line examples for the first few days).

Ok thanks for the advice.
computercoder: I'm well past that point, I'm ready to make an app... Not just a little program like that.
Grey Alien: I already tried that, it's just what would I save the font as? Also, I'm using BlitzPlus GUI
CS_TBL: I'll try that out it sound's reasonable, I've been working on a animation program- which I scraped because
the coding was poor and unorganized, plus I want to work
some more question's of mine out via trial and error before
I attempt that again.

Currently i'm working on a calculator, if that helps. so far its really fun (i'm learning types: Yippee!)
I probably could make a calculator though, it might be too easy. But with an algebra function... a decent challenge.
