In this series of videos, which are aimed at those who have never coded in PowerBasic before, I cover one element of the language or programming - today we're looking to optimise and complete a game using Windows API calls.

00:00 - Introduction
00:48 - New data structures
03:03 - Setting up the shape caching
05:48 - Setting up the keyboard controls
17:53 - Testing
20:53 - Summary

I don't work for, nor am I paid or sponsored by, the owners of PowerBASIC, I'm just a fan of their products.
