Beginning Programming with Just BASIC -- Tutorial 10: AI's and Collision Testing

In which I discuss how to make the most basic artificial intelligence (AI) and how to detect a collision between two or more sprites.

im making a text based RPG with just basic and ive got 8 enemies programmed into it as well as 3 buyable weapons and XP and money that you earn from exploring and fighting the enemies plus i extracted sounds from HL2 and put scripts into it to play that sound when that even executed. lots of IF's ;P

thanks again, can we give you certain things that we need help with?

Not really. I've seen some programs that dabble in 3D graphics but they're really a mathematical exercise. If you really want to make 3D games, I suggest trying out Unreal's Development Kit which you can get for free. Steep learning curve, but you can do pretty much anything with it.

where can i get it? is it like some update to just basic?
by the way are you ever going to do any advanced video because im still not sure if i should continue this language.
if this wouldnt be the program to fit my needs any suggestions? jva didnt work, no unity 3d, i dont know how to use 3d gamemaker but i have it, im looking for smething with a simple programing interface like just basic does. thi pogrm just automaticly opens the code window on startup thats the kind of program im looking for.

besides running from the pizza...what is the main motive of this game?

[CivilDefenseEngineer]

@awsomeguy5001 I don't know of such a thing. There probably is something, but I've never seen it done.

@clockwise3559 I sent you a YouTube message, because my response was kinda long to post here 8P

It's an entire game engine/developer kit and is several cuts above JB as far as game development. You will like it.
