Still using Blitz29th January 2014 Thanks for all the responses. A problem I've had with Blitz Basic is that I could never get a music file to play. Some of you might remember this from a while back. The code was right but it wouldn't work on any of my machines. I own the old Idigicon vers*snip* |

Still using Blitz9th August 2013 Thanks, Jayenkai! One of the reasons I was able to figure things out in Blitz Basic was that there were books like the one by John Logsdon. I might as well give Max and Monkey a look, and see if I can manage with whatever documentation is available. |

Still using Blitz9th August 2013 Hi, everyone. It's been a while! Years ago, I was teaching myself to program for games using Blitz Basic (i.e. BlitzPlus). I learned a lot, but my efforts were derailed by other responsibilities (read: kids!) that ate up all my free time and energy and br*snip* |

Depression (Warning: Strong themes & Language)2nd August 2009 Like Jay said, happiness is different things to different people.

Free Design1st August 2009 JL, that sounds very interesting. In particular, the allegiances and how they would affect play. Eventually, the allies would have to turn on one another. |

A couple of questions29th June 2009 [quote] The idea of writing your own drawing function for images with frames isn't too bad though, and I suspect it would be easy using DrawImageRect.[/quote] Okay, I looked into DrawImageRect, and also DrawBlockRect. I understand how they work, and how t*snip* |

QOTD : What have you done, this week?29th June 2009 Wow, JL, sounds like you're having quite a week! Me: Just working my day job, then looking after my son, and squeezing in a little bit of coding when everyone's asleep (if I can manage to stay awake myself). |

A couple of questions28th June 2009 JL235, thanks for the reply. I'm not too worried about speed for this because it's just a map editor I'm using to create levels (not planning to distribute it). Within the game itself, I'll hard-code the numbers so I won't have to load the images twice. |

A couple of questions28th June 2009 Thanks for the help! I think I'll just stick with my original approach, seeing as how the editor is just a means to an end. And that other stuff is a bit over my head, honestly. :) |

A couple of questions28th June 2009 Hi all, I'm working on a map editor for a tile-based game, using Blitz 2d. Some questions: 1) Is there a way for my program to "know" how many tiles are in a given image strip at the time of loading, without that information being hard coded? For insta*snip* |
