Learning from the Samples

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Learning from the Samples

I don't know if this is problematic to anyone else, but I'm having a hard time learning BlitzMax (and already knowing BlitzPlus and Blitz3D/2D) even with the samples provided. All the examples are demos that demonstrate a variety of things which make them not 100% straight-forward.

What I would find most helpful would be simplistic code samples that do nothing but maybe draw an image on the screen or load a tiled background and scroll it. Once I get to know the syntax better, I'll be able to take on the samples already provided.

My current solution to the problem: Learn the language of the Max, earn its trust, breed with its women, and in time our differences will be forgotten. This won't get me anywhere...
