I guess AppGameKit Classic is AppGameKit 2? Or is it AppgameKit 1? I'm not quite clear about the name differences here.

I like the old Dark Basic Code Snippets, is there anything like this for AppGameKit? It really helps a novice programmer like me, I'm much better at music and writing text than programming when it gets more complicated.

Another useful collection of snippets is the
Useful Community Functions Project (UCF) .


Also, I think the whole AppGameKit Classic / AppGameKit 2 / Tier 1 / Tier 2 thing is really poorly explained, if it is even explained anywhere.

App game kit classic is the first of them
App Game Kit Studio is the second release with a choice of two rendering engines and its own 2D
2D placement tool

Each has two versions the basic hybrid which you will see examples of mostly across the forums
known as tier 1 then there is a more professional and faster approach that want to push every
frame rate they can out of their programs known as tier2 which most people use Microsoft Studio
as there IDE for the Tier2 code

you asked on another thread for 2D wrapping tiles

its just an example but should give you an idea on how to create your own it came from my thread

App Game kit 1 was released in 2011 (Around august I think)
App Game kit 2 was released in 2014 (November I think)
App game kit 2 is now renamed as App Game kit "classic"
AGK Studio is the latest version (basically an update of AGK2) with a new IDE and Vulcan rendering support

For code snippets. Alot of the commands have examples with them:
https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/commands.html

Examples Ship with AppGameKit and are normally put in /AGK/Projects/ directory

There is also the codebase (which isnt used as much anymore but is still quite useful):
