PureBasic Game Tutorials???

J. Baker · Post by **J. Baker** » Sat Jun 21, 2003 3:08 am

Does any one have any good 3D tutorials? I see little snippets here and there under this subject but would like to see something where I or any beginner could start making a full game with PB. Would like to make a small racing game myself. Thanks to who ever replies.

I would also like to see some "bigger" tutorials on game-making in Purebasic (2D and 3D)...
Are there anyone currently working on this?!?

133 post and no one knows how to make a simple game with PB? I know some of you are either to busy to make a tutorial or just don't want to take the time to but could some one help me? I thought of emailing Fred but I'm sure he is to busy creating PB. Anything would be great, even if it's a Mario style game.

The Resources Site has a number of games you can download.
I'm sure you can look through the source code and learn something

Is this something everyone would like to see? I've been interested in writing games for years, and I purchased Purebasic because of the promise it shows in this area.

I can setup a site just for Purebasic game writing, and put some examples / tutorials on it - I've already created a starfield program based on Andre LaMothe's excellent book "teach yourself games programming in 21 days", and I can create some PureBasic tutorials based on the ideas there.

Any takers?

I would love to see some PureBasic specific games tutorials..

and I bet others would want to see some too...

@hypervox

great idea

i'm sure it will help a lot of people who try to implement the more general tips on game programming (from books and web sites) in PB code.

Ok then, consider it done. I'll start now, and let you know when it's ready...

ALRIGHT!!! It would be nice to see some more gaming tutorials. Thanks to Paul for reminding me about the games on the PB Resource site as well. i forgot about the games there, not sure why but they'll help, thanks.

I've started work, and I've got the first program skeleton ready, but one question guys & gals:

Do you just want tutorials on how to use PB to program games (i.e. we assume that you have some experience in programming games), or do you want more general tutorials on game programming with PB as the programming language (i.e. no experience whatsoever)?

Once I know exactly what you'd like to see, we can get going....!

Perhaps a hybrid of both types of tutorials...
ie. a quick introduction/explanation to those who have no experience in programming games...
But also going indepth on how you can use PB-specific commands for making games (mouse/keyboard input, adding graphics (sprites and images), and spritecollisions etc..)
Then perhaps some different techniques that are often used in game-making..

I would also like to see a 3D tutorial, but this is perhaps a bit difficult as the 3D implementation is really "there" yet...
(can't wait to get into entities and 3D effects etc...

)

Andre's Code Archieve has 3D examples and other great things

Thanks Lars, that's what I figured.

First tutorial should be ready in a couple of days. once it's up, I'll ask Fred to put a entry in the links section...

Thanks ricardo and to hypervox, I would like to see some how to's since I'm new to programming. thanks
