F1 Licenceware
--------------
Sells Licenceware games and utils, written in any language. But you already
know that because you bought this disk from there didn`t you?
F1 are always keen to look at your new software, so send it in for
evaluation and the road to fame and fortune could be yours! Don`t forget
to include a stamp and say where you got the address.
Also published by F1 is an Amos programmers disk mag called Amoszine. I
can't say much because I am the editor. I will just say that our aim at
Amoszine is to be the biggest/best and highest value Amos mag around, and I
feel we are achieving that write for info.

Some Amos books
---------------
Amiga Games Makers Manual.
Stephen Hill
Sigma Press
ISBN 1-85058-230-0
19.99
This I would recommend as the next step on from this tutorial. It takes a
good long look at writing games of all sorts including shoot em ups,
adventures, simulations etc. A good read.
Mastering Amiga Amos
--------------------
Phil South
Bruce Smith Books
ISBN 1-873308-12-4
19.95
This book is good for hints and tips and learning different techniques,
maybe this could be step three in your learning process.
At the time of writing there are two more Amos books that have just been
published, I don`t know what they are like but here are all the details I
can find:
Ultimate Amos
-------------
Amiga Format
19.95
Check out the adverts in Amiga Format as they wrote and are publishing it.
I haven't read it yet.
Amos in Education
-----------------
Len and Anne Tucker
I don`t know anything about this book. Contact Len or Anne at the address
given under The Amos P.D Library.
As far as I know at the moment these are the only Amiga magazines that are
running a regular Amos programming column.
Amiga Shopper (Future)
----------------------
Amiga Computing (Europress)
----------------------------
Other magazines do the occasional series so keep an eye out.
Keep your eye out for fellow Amos users in disk mags and magazine adverts
and write to them to swap hints and source code etc.
That must be enough information for you to make your next step, DO IT!!!
