Excellent! I found the site before you posted. But thanks

I was just wondering were you started programing? Was it on Blitz? Im am really good in Python (python.org). Had yet tried anything gui with it though. If you would suggest were I should start if I wanted to make something like bullet candy were should I? (I dont really want to pay, just wanna learn more) and what languages should I learn?

Well, i learned programming at sixth form college years ago with Pascal and C.

I would say that Blitzmax is more than worth the money, but if you don't want to pay up then my suggestion would be to find a language you're comfortable programming in and go from there. There's bound to be a hardware accelerated graphics library for Python, so perhaps you should look at that.

[edit] in fact there's this: http://www.pygame.org/http://www.pygame.org/

Wow... Blitzbasic... i'm amazed! I gave that a try some years ago, but i guess i tried to complicate things withit... if you don't stay simple withit, you end up around a tree soon.

I can definately recommend PyGame. Python is a great language to start with, it comes with a lot of features and the PyGame library is very easy to learn. If you managed to get your head around python and game programming, you might want to checkout Panda3D, a 3D library/engine for python. Several semi-professionel games were made with it.
