Next basic tutorial?

Post by OldGamer »

Hello,

Does anyone know of any Spectrum Next tutorials on how to make a complete simple game? Text based or video is fine.
I learn better from following someone than from reading a manual with a list of commands.
(the game could be anything)

I am up for paying for a course like udemy but I doubt theres any Next courses.

Thanks

There was an excellent tutorial by Darryl Sloan in 8bit magazine. It starts in issue 9:

Is this of any use to you?

The BaSnake tutorial might be a good place to start.
