Just a word of warning though, it may seem dawnting at first. Heck, it still
does to me and I've been tinkering with it for almost a year. Granted
personal issues sort of sidelined my BGT practice and I haven't really found
my mse again. Of course if you want my honest opinion I suspect it has more
to do with the fact that I was working on yet another Simon game and I've
sort of lost my enthusiasm for that.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] BGT competition - any interest?
Hi Nancy,
Yes, there is a trial version of BGT. Basically, if you download BGT
without a license key you can write games, but you can not compile
them to a Windows executable. Instead you have to run the source code
through the BGT runtime interpretor. Which will run a little slower,
and if you redistribute the scripts everyone has access to your
source. So for general distribution you probably want at least a basic
shareware license which costs $29.
As far as documentation goes BGT comes with everything you need to get
started. There is an audio manual plus there is a help file filled
with descriptions of every function available through the engine. Plus
on the Blastbay website there are some free games with source you can
look at to get a basic idea of how to get started.
Cheers!

Hi Philip,
I'd be interested in giving this a try. I'd have to familiarize myself
with
BGT, though, and that could take a little time. I assume there's a BGT
version we can use without purchasing the software. What limitations
does
it have?
Links to information on getting started with BGT would be welcome so that
I
can explore it before such a contest begins.
Thanks,
Nancy
