aarrrrrgggghhhh.. I have much homework! Well, I'll try Razz

btw I'd rather not go for the bonuses right now seeing as how I want to get more familiar with the 2D world of blitz.

ok, ok, ok, ill try to do something. ill have to make something really easy though because i also have lots of homework, maybe at march break there can be another contest because then there isn't as much homework. i may submit a game and i may not, ill have to see how much i get done and how good it is.

sweet. And this way Maverick can now have enough time to learn the language and participate Smile

I dunno if I should do Slime Volleyball though.. I might get bored part way through and want to quit. Any other good but not too difficult ideas?

ive quit with the game thing. i think its a little premature when im tyring to build a game with syntax i don't know. im going to wait a bit. ive done a bit though, almost straight from blitz help and shorthair's tutorials but its alright. i probably won't submit a game.

setscreen ("offscreenonly") = SetBuffer BackBuffer()
View.Update = flip

about your prog. don't post it in here, it makes it yucky Razz also, we don't have the texture, but that doesn't matter.

Lol, I would really really really like to learn more about Blitz, but I really really really don't have the time, what with Cervantes pestering me to play Gunbound and homework, tests and summatives.

hey! let's get the facts straight! I was playing, then YOU came on, and asked me if I wanted to play. Then, only after about the 15th game did I say I have to go after this, to which you logged off as well.
Laughing

I'd probably be doing more blitz but I don't have any good ideas of programs to make. I think that slime volleyball will require 1st year university physics, so that's out Sad Any ideas anyone has, post away in the 3D Game Ideas thread.
