We all agree that the docs are, um, seriously lacking in many ways (the User Guide in particular, which on the home help screen says "User Guide - how to create programs in BlitzMax", does no such thing. In fact there are only a handfull of commands even mentioned!).
I believe multi-dimensional arrays are discussed here, though:
http://www.blitzwiki.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide_to_BlitzMax#Arrays
Documention, for some reason - despite its obvious importance, is often minimal or written from an expert programmer's point of view, rather than from a layman's point of view. I was hoping that this would be addressed by the time the official Windows release was, um, released.
I wrote a User Guide, but it is only about 60-70% complete ( http://www.geocities.com/amiga5k/BMGuide2.zip ).
It is in OpenOffice.Org format (which is free http://www.openoffice.org/ ).
Anyone who is interested in continuing the User Guide is encouraged to do so, especially the experts here who also know how to explain things to the average person... You know who you are!
