Recent Amiga Games Creation Tutorials and Examples
A popular game programming language on the Amiga is Blitz BASIC or AmiBlitz as the freely available and open source version is called now. The latest version (v 3.9.2) was recently released. The best known game developed with Blitz Basic is Team 17's original Worms game for the Amiga 500 in 1995. Meanwhile the Worms franchise has sold over 75 million game units across many different platforms. Daedalus2097 has just started an AmiBlitz video tutorial series on Twitch.tv: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. An example AmiBlitz game currently under development is Super Metal Hero
[ Show youtube player ] (A1200) and here's a shooter level
[ Show youtube player ] in the game.
REDPILL is a free 2D game creation tool written in AmiBlitz by Carlos Peris and is designed to empower people to create many games for Amiga without programming knowledge. It's still early days but the first games are already being designed using this tool. An example game designed with this tool is Guardian — The legend of flaming sword [ Show youtube player ]. The "Scorpion Engine" developed by Erik 'Earok' Hogan is a closed source game engine with all software developed for it open source. It offers a modern Windows IDE for development. In this video [ Show youtube player ], Erik Hogan guides Micheal Parent from Bitbeam Cannon step by step as they create a legit retro video game from scratch. Various new games have and are being developed using this engine. An already released game is Amigo the Fox [ Show youtube player ] and an example game under development is Rick Dangerous [ Show youtube player ] (A1200 version). If you want to dig deeper into Amiga coding then here's a series of Assembly game development tutorials by Phaze101. An example game currently being written in assembler is RESHOOT PROXIMA 3 [ Show youtube player ] (A1200). If you are unexperienced with coding but would like to then here are some AMOS (BASIC) tutorials for you: Rob Smith's How to program Wordle in AMOS on the AMIGA [ Show youtube player ] and Lets Code Santa's Present Drop Game. Any relevant additions or suggestions? Last edited by MikeB; 04 June 2022 at 21:34. |

Metro Siege is using Enable Software's Engine9000 and apparently they also have a "Super Secret" game under development using this engine.

If it helps, I've been including BlitzBasic source with all of my games... But I probably shouldn't recommend trying to actually learn anything from my code. After years of writing games at a rapid pace, my code style is kinda scary to anyone who isn't me

There were blitz basic tutorials in CU Amiga and Amiga Format. There was I think supposed to be a Pac Man tutorial in Assembler too in one of the magazines.

Hello MikeB,
All the URL's to the youtube videos in your 1st post contain a link to a (supported) browser check ... which does not need to be there. |

@ Dan
Thanks, I tried to fix this. For some reason the browser check got plugged into the posting while copy & pasting my original article from Slashdot: How to Write Your Own Games - for the Amiga https://slashdot.org/story/22/05/21/...-for-the-amiga |
