eat this book

does anyone know a good book that explains b3d?

You mean other than this manual available on the Products page of this very site?

Or [a http://books.google.com/books?id=hna5bP53kPwC&pg=PP1&ots=VLLXMJ-Qal&dq=game+programming+for+teens&sig=UsZs-DTFZv75I5dxoQeg_CFKcAA#PPA20,M1]game programming for teens[/a] ?

b32: afaik the 'game programming for teens' book is blitzbasic (blitzplus) only.

JS

Ah yes .. but there is also 3d game programming for teens:

Yes, there is, but I don't think it's about Blitz at all.

3d Game Programming for teens is for Blitz3d. Found it at Barns N' Noble (sp?).

game programming for teens isn't very good...It explains very little of the b3d command set...I had to teach myself most of it.

lol i read and have both. the (2d) game programming for teens is more in-depth than the 3d one

is the manual any better?

I stand corrected. None of the write ups I could find for the book mentioned B3D, while they did specifically mention Javascript and Wild Tangent.

ya 3d game programming for teens uses blitz 3d look at page 44 chapter 4

If I owned the book, I wouldn't have had to check online writeups to see what it covered.

sorry, it says "ive selected Blitz3D for several reasons..."

I own a copy of 3d programming for teens, its a awsome beginners book, and even better if its your first language. it doesnt get very deep, but unlike some of the comments here, i can confirm its 100% blitz3d, it explains the concept of games and how they are developed, some history of them, and then it goes into all the learn blitz3d basics stuff

woah i found this HUGE list of books based on programming , but HALF of them are in blitz basic and blitz3D ( pay attention to the titles its very easy to catch if their not in blitz, and hard to catch if they are ): http://www.amazon.com/gp/series/88977/ref=pd_serl_books/105-9632228-0911617?ie=UTF8&edition=paperback

does any 1 know if "AI Techniques for Game Programming" is Blitz3d?

EDIT: nvm i looked in the table of contents and found a code : drawtext

No it's not:


(Quote from one of the reviews)

The code is definitely C.
