Tutorials

I have a number of Blitz3D tutorial videos on youtube at the following address:
http://www.youtube.com/amcadam26

These cover building a simple space invaders game from scratch, covering all the functions needed to build that type of game.

I’ve also put some videos on covering some other areas, like particle effects, gravity, animated images and have now just started a new series on building a tile based map editor.

The aim right now is to produce more videos on building a map editor and platform game to go with it, then expanding that into a simple RPG game using the same editor but a revised game engine.

I’ve also started a set of 3D tutorials, which will be working towards building a simple First Person Shooter.

I’m always open for suggestions on where to go next with tutorials so please comment to let me know your thoughts…

I would just like to thank you personally for your video tutorials in Blitz. It has been a rather painless process migrating to Blitz for my game programming since I develop small software apps (for personal use) in VB .NET, but your tutorials have made my dive into games programming that whole lot easier. Many thanks, great work

I am looking forward to more video tutorials from you. I know you prolly dont respond much to requests because you probably get so many, but im looking for a good tutorial on tile based scrolling as I am planning to make a 2D rpg, but have very little experience with programming tile scrollers / maps.

Thank you once again, excellent work 10/10

I’m sorry but what do you mean by “reupload the files?” the youtube clips are all still there and the source code files are linked in from the description pane.

Hi Andy,

I’ve got to say that you’re tutorials are really good. You’ve got the balance just right. I was using BB about 2 years ago but gave up as I started to loose interest. I’ve always wanted to do my own 2D shootem-up game but just couldn’t see it through. I was wondering whether you would consider running a tutorial on writing a 2D shooter. I promise I’ll finish it this time if you help me out

BTW, I see you’re based in Huntingdon, Cambs. Well I’m in Herts so we’re practically neighbours.

Anyway, hope you can find the time to squeeze in my request.

Hi.
I’ve just finished the brilliant blitz basic tutorials that you have posted on youtube, but I’m having some problems…
I can’t seem to get it to go onto the next level, the game just finishes and my ship is left on it’s own.
Can I somehow send you the code to check?
Thanks
Silas

Hey wasup, great video tutorials man. Keep them coming.
I think a great tutorial would be for inventory and saving games in the last current position.
Thanks for the videos man. They really helped me understand alot.
