DarkPixel here! Glad to be here!

DarkPixel

Hey guys, I am DarkPixel from Greece, Athens.I found Gideros yesterday, by searching for an android game engine. Previously I have used Monkey mostly, and other non gaming related languages/IDEs like Delphi, C#, VB.net and Basic4Android. For creating games I have also used Construct, which is now my 2nd favorite, after finding Gideros!

Well, I really like Gideros, I see it is just great for what I want to do. Create games. Although, it would be better if you guys had step by step tutorials, since I don't know how to make the simplest things now, even though I have been coding for years using other languages.

Well, I hope I learn many new stuff here, and even contribute to the Gideros community!

Hi DarkPixel

Probably other community members will show you other ways, but first and foremost, I'd suggest you do the following:

- Read the Developer FAQ in our Wiki (http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter), and most documents there in general
- Try out the examples that come with Gideros Studio
- Print out Gideros Reference Manual and read it in the bus, at school, at work - whenever you find some time (http://www.giderosmobile.com/gideros-academy)
- Read Arturs' (appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile) and Avo's docs (http://giderostutorials.com/)

Before these, please install the Player first, so you can immediately test your app directly on the hardware (see http://www.giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Deployment)

Gideros Studio is a wonderful SDK, but I now believe its community is far more better than the SDK itself ;-)

Welcome to our family!

Welcome from the UK too - I'm sure you'll hear from @MikeHart soon as well our resident Monkey expert

@techdojo: Why?

techdojo

I thought you might want to say hi to a fellow Monkey developer - not sure how many of them there are (I would have thought it a small niche - just like Gideros), what with you having written the book on it.

@techdojo
I never know before that @MikeHart wrote book about Monkey. Is there any chance a book about Gideros will come?

techdojo

You could always ask him - failing that there's already the community Ulitmate Guide - but progress on that seems to have stopped.
There is also at least one book on Corona by PacketPub I should imagine most of the concepts would be easily transferable.

Hello Welcome!

DarkPixel

Thanks again to all! I am currently trying to make a simple tic-tac-toe game to learn Gideros!
