We’ve been down for a while - and at a crucial time of year for us too! Sorry to all of you who have tried to place orders before Christmas.

First in (hopefully) a long line of videos that will show novice users how to get started with this excellent language. The first episode shows a brief overview of the BlitzMax Integrated Development Environment or IDE for short.

An IDE is just a place where you can edit the source code to build your game, compile it into a format the computer understands and debug it.

The BlitzMax tutorials and sample files from the book are still on the old site. If you want to see the tutorials, or require the sample files, they can still be found there.

I don’t know if anyone has caught this or not, but this is a demo done by KLEPTO2222 showing off bump mapping with BlitzMax and MiniB3D:

We’re in the process of updating the web site over the coming week. This means that quite a lot of the functionality will be lost.BlitzMax for the Absolute Beginner is still available to order though! So far it’s been a roaring success with many satisfied readers.  If you haven’t already taken the plunge, what’s stopping you? Learn BlitzMax for under £30! Visit our order page to start!
