go into blitz help, and i think there is a beginner tutorial which you can learn the syntax from.

there are some good turoaisl here also or go to blitzcoder.com but i don't really like those that much... too complicated.

yay gogo Blitz!  We're becoming poopoolar!!

I don't like blitzcoder.com either, go to language reference for the basis of blitz (though you need some programming knowledge already, which you have).

Other than that, just flip through the command reference (2D, by category) to learn some nifty commands.

the basic tuts are pretty easy to understand. after that, look at all the easy stuff on these boards, then check out the 2d thing by categories like cervantes said. its still not as easy as it looks though.

nono it really is as easy as it looks :)

its got the same basic structure as Turing.  if statements, loops, for loops, etc.

loops are kinda different though.  There's all kinds

While..Wend
Repeat..Until
Repeat..Forever

While..Wend and Repeat..Until are basically the same thing except opposite.

Anyways, good luck keep reading :)

well, some of the 3d things are a bit difficult. structures are easy though, you just need to know the syntax. cervantes is on his own for this game a long with maverick it seems.
