PureBasic Forums - English

I've been teaching my 8 year old Grandson to code in PureBasic and he recently completed his first 'solo' project, a simple 'avoid and collect' game for PC!

Why not give it a try and throw him a $1 to encourage him to complete future projects!

Excelent!
Hopefully the programmer had fun creating this game.
I would love an update with a little bit of flames from the thrusters and the sound that comes along ( even if there is no sound in space).

Purebasic is a wonderful start into the world of programming.

My Grandson did indeed have great fun coding this as he learned! Nice ideas you have. Maybe I can persuade him to create a 'Special Edition' with those included.

He's currently working on his next game, a side scrolling car game where again you have to avoid objects. This time, the graphics are more advanced with parallax scrolling in the background scene and speed changes to the road depending on how far across the screen the player car is. He's also attempting his own music in OpenMPT.

Thanks for the comments, I'll pass them on to him!
