Setting up Blitz Basic 2
Create a main Blitz Basic Directory on your HD such as:
PROGDIR:Blitz2/
Now create the following directories into the above location:
BlitzLibs/
REDHelp/
Edit your S:User-Startup file and add the following assigns:
Assign Blitz2: PROGDIR:Blitz2
Assign Blitzlibs: Blitz2:Blitzlibs
Here is where to extract the LHA files:
| Filename | Extract into |
| acidlibs.lha | Blitz2: |
| blitz210.lha | Blitz2: |
| blitzlibs.lha | Blitz2:Blitzlibs/ |
| defdebug.lha | Blitz2: |
| deflibs.lha | Blitz2: |
| help.lha | Blitz2: |
| redhelp.lha | Blitz2:REDHelp/ |
| ted224.lha | Blitz2: |
You should now have a directory like this:
Blitz2:_____________Main Blitz2 Drawer
_Blitzlibs/ __________Blitz
libraries directory
_REDHelp/ _________RED help
directory
_acidlibs___________Acid
libraries
_Blitz2_____________Main
Bliz Basic program
_Blit2.info__________Icon for
Blitz2
_DefaultDebug_______Default
Debugger used by Blitz2
_DefLibs___________Default
Blitz2 libraries
_help______________Blitz
help program
_help.dat___________Blitz
help data
_Ted______________Blitz text editor
_Ted.info__________Icon for
Ted
_Ted.Library**______Library file for Ted __
** Move the Ted.Library to LIBS:
Just double-click on the Blitz2
Icon to load.
I suggest you download some of the examples from
this site to get an idea of how the Blitz2 language works.
Pressing HELP over a command will give a quick overview
of its syntax. Pressing RightShift-Help should bring up an
amigaguide for that command.
Download the docs.lha file which contains lots of information
as well as organised docs for the commands (Screen/Audio etc).
