Where you are
02 · Language primer and gateway route
AMOS gives you an immediate Amiga route before full hardware control.
This route teaches Amiga game-making through AMOS: screens, sprites, BOBs, input, animation, and complete games that show what the machine can do from a high-level language.
- No assembly knowledge is needed.
- If programming itself is new, Foundations gives you the shared ideas first.
- AMOS is a route into Amiga game-making, not a required step before Blitz or assembly.
Games
Build complete games while you learn AMOS — sprites, BOBs, and the Amiga's screen. Start with Game 1 and work through in order.
