You may not have seen it yet but the contest
Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam
Will start at the end of the month! The contest starts on June 1, 2022 at 12:00! and the delivery deadline is over 3 months!
If you’ve always dreamed of getting started with AMIGA programming, now is the time! In addition EVERYTHING is delivered with the contest to be able to start your career as a programmer on AMIGA! A big big big GG to the organizers of the competition on this point by the way!
Indeed at the bottom of the main contest page https://itch.io/jam/abbgjam
We find the resources made available to be able to enter the contest! The pearl of this list that will simplify your life by bringing you the equivalent of Visual Studio for AMIGA is the development pack:
I also make a mirror of this archive in case or on amigaland.com!
Download at AMIGALAND.COM
Once this treasure is in your pocket, you will have to decompress it on your AMIGA!
If you do not yet have an AMIGA, it is possible to offer you the AMIGA FOREVER suite published by Cloanto (Official owner of the AMIGA brand and its rights) by going directly to the official site:
On the AMIGA FOREVER site for $30 you will have access to all official AMIGAs with Kickstart ROMS. At this price it is luxury! Second solution you can prepare your AMIGA yourself by following the tutorials of Amigaland.com: https://amigaland.com/2021/07/17/installation-du-workbench-3-0-amigaos-3-0/
After all that once on your AMIGA you have to decompress the LHA archive and be careful it takes 1000 years because there are 4700 files 🙂
The lha is normally on your AMIGA if you have followed the tutorial but in case the installation LHA RUN is also provided in the zip archive for download above.
Then just double click on the icon of the lha archive and type the command that goes well:
Lha_68k x filename.lha
After the decompression is complete
A nice directory is now available where the file was unzipped
Double clic on “Installblitz2”
Then “Proceed”
Choose the folder in which you want to install and “Proceed”
Monitor the smooth running of the installation
Another little “Proceed” for the assignments in the user-startup
Also do “Proceed” on the following windows 🙂 (I’m not going to capture them all)
Un “Proceed with Install” pour la support suite !
Encore des proceeds et on choisit bien installation sur disque dur
des proceeds et Installation “Standard Icons” car je n’ai pas installé Magic Workbench sur cette machine
We continue the Proceed!
We will use version 2.1! More proceeds!
And now after all these proceeds we finally reach the end of installation screen!
And no, it’s not over! We redo the proceeds and the installation continues with on this screen a Yep!
Important message about possible graphic bugs and Proceed of course!
A last proceed on the true end?
After checking my Blitz Basic 2 is well installed \o/
We launch it to see if all is well!
A little Hello World anyway?
Et voilà !
Now you have no more excuses not to take part in this magnificent contest!
Remember to watch the Blitz Basic section of AMIGALAND because I will surely have fun with the Blitz Basic too!
