[Native Code Tutorials]

oops Rastar you are completely correct. When I said:

Here are a few high level design points for the tutorials:

• Teach the engine and its tools
  
• C++ programming
  
• First Person Shooter
  

 

I should have said C++ programming in Leadwerks, ie how to escape (or enhance) component based programming.

 

Kennar- I agree that all the tutorials should be housed in one spot, so you don't have to scrounge around the forums. As for pdf's we'll have to see about that (although I'm pretty sure there are tools or scripts out there to turn webpages into pdf)

I will make sure to cover the generic knowledge as well.

@ Rick:

 

Yeah I noticed the problem that after posting 2 "tutorials" the first one become hard to find.

 

Right now the things I am posting are super rough so there is no "Official tutorial" section. But I would like an official tutorials section in the future. But currently there is not enough time.

 

@Shadmar

Video tutorials always sound like a good idea, but I always find myself having to rewind, or pause the video and you can't copy and paste stuff. I think ideally a combination of a video tutorial and a written tutorial would be awesome. (But the amount of time to produce quality tutorials would skyrocket)

Haha I don't know if the scene deserves a "Powered by" logo at the moment!

So the video only showcased the Attractor class and the manipulation of its "force" member (when positive it attracts, negative repels). Particles will work with multiple attractors, I really should have showed that off.

 

As for deflectors, the description of the smoke under an overhang would be a good example of physics based particles. Which sadly are not implemented as of yet but I will look into it.

 

@ChrisV: The particle system and attractors will be in the editor and will appear in the viewport. (I'm not sure if this answers your question...)

Thanks guys! I'll try to keep up with my updates!

Oh and playing Eternal Sonata and beating it in 20 hours.....in 1.5 days

Favorite game memories:

 

1. Staying up all night for the first time beating NBA Showtime.

2. Taking the clothes off of characters in Daggerfall and snickering.

3. Listening to the mad scientist in Quest for Glory 4 and then visiting the rusalki.

4. Playing Pokemon Red for so many hours that I could hear the music in my head when I went to sleep.

Random note: The first time I logged onto leadwerks I clicked on Who's Online and it said "Chris V" and showed your pic. With my name being Chris Vossen, for the first 5 mins I thought "wow that's a cool default picture" then I realized that there are 2 Chris V's....

Yeah you can always tweak the alpha value to fade.

I don't recall the exact answer but it was it was along the lines of: "This has only happened to me once" and preceded to tell the story of a recommendation going awry.

 

As for Robin Williams, I can see the resemblance:
