I printed out that tutorial, it's well laid out and easy to grasp.

Also i was wondering is there anything i can do to contribute towards GDN? I have been getting such great responses and help from everyone here that i just want to help out in any way i can.

Thanks

Science is anal by nature. It holds up a yardstick and precisely measures everything it can. From these measurements we can deduce and calculate. For example, if we were to measure the height of the Statue of Liberty, we could deduce that it is Really Freekin' Tall (RFT). If we wanted to, we could then calculate how many RFTs it is to the Freekin' Moon. This, of course, is the kind of science practiced by those people who have their thumbs stuck up their butts.

In accordance with this time-honored scientific tradition, I have taken the liberty to fart units like magic butterflies.

My only concern would be getting to class. :P

With only a single six-week course currently available, this means that I will be able to teach different classes — either advanced or completely different from the ones we currently have.

Please take this opportunity to let me know what you would like to see added to our course schedule in the (somewhat) near future.

These Courses are Out of the Question :

  • Anything MOG — Including MMORPG
  • Anything 3D. That will have to be up to someone else.

Some Suggestions

  • Introduction to 6502 ASM (used in the c64, NES, and SuperNES)
  • RPGs from Scratch with X
  • Advanced Platform Game Concepts with X
  • Beginner Sprite Art using Graphics Gale
  • Interactive Fiction with X
  • Beginning 2D Physics with X
  • Introductory Artificial Intelligence with X
  • Intermediate Programming With X
  • X Math with X
