What is Blitz Basic? Blitz is a powerful and flexible programming language designed specifically for writing games! Visit the web site for details.   Other Resources For more Blitz Basic resources, try the Blitz links in the link database for other great Blitz sites..

The Blitz Lab is a resource for Blitz Basic programmers. It is primarily aimed at users of Blitz 2D, although many of the functions & articles will apply to all version of Blitz Basic.

As I develop my own games, I always write modular, reusable code for use in all my projects. The Blitz Lab will feature programming articles and library code for anyone to download & use.

I am now using Blitz Plus for all my development work. However, most code currently available from the Blitz Lab may require minor modifications (e.g. changing WaitTimer to WaitEvent) until I have time to update everything myself.

Colour Space Library V2.01+

The HSV colour system is the main feature of this library. It is based on the colour wheel and has many applications:

Convert between HSV & RGB colour. Draw & get colours from colour bars, colour wheels & brightness bars.

Aurora Libraries

A set of Blitz Basic functions I have developed as I have worked on other projects. I will be constantly adding new functions to these libraries so keep checking back for updates.

These libraries include a variety of graphic, numeric, string, and input/output functions.
