To date, I have written four game creation based tutorials that have featured in the monthly newsletter of TheGameCreators.com.
| The
Seven P's tutorial is aimed at the newcomer to games programming and
demonstrates how best to layout your code to avoid confusion later. |
|
The Custom Keys
tutorial demonstrates how to allow the user to change the keys used to
control the game to their own personal preferences. |
|
The Bitmap Fonts tutorial demonstrates how to get the best out of the bitmap fonts that are available to download from this site. You might also want to download the accompanying DarkBASIC Professional code. |
| Ballz takes what we have learned so far and turns it into a full game.. In its current state it is very basic but still very playable. To demostrate what can be done with a little further tweaking, I continued to make Ballz into a full game. You can download the complete version of Ballz from the Games page |
