AMOS BASIC

AMOS gives you an immediate route into Amiga game-making.

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

Start with the Meet AMOS primer: it takes you from your first PRINT to a sprite you can steer. AMOS games will be listed here as their lessons are published.

Other ways into the Amiga

Blitz BASIC compiles to fast code and suits scrolling, action-heavy games. 68000 assembly works directly with the Copper, Blitter and custom chips. Neither is a required step after AMOS.
