Tutorial list set up

john26 · April 2016

In an attempt to overhaul the documentation, I've added a list of tutorials here
http://giderosmobile.com/guide

For now I've just provided links to various tutorials I'm aware of. Over time I hope to gather some of these directly into the Gideros website and add new ones of my own. There are probably many tutorials I've missed. If you know of any, please let me know and I'll add them.

I've also prepared a video tutorial of my own aimed at absolute beginners and put it in the Getting Started documentation

http://docs.giderosmobile.com/index.html

If you have any suggestions for improvements to these docs please let me know!

this one i think is missing:

http://www.indiedb.com/engines/gideros/tutorials/clipping-in-gideros-with-rendertarget

btw maybe there could be a color code or any other sign (like a colored dot next to the link) to tell whether it's a tutorial for beginners or more for non-beginners.

Thanks, @keszegh. But I think perhaps now gideros has clipping that technique is no longer needed..?

http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/gideros/Sprite/setClip#Sprite:setClip

keszegh · April 2016

@john26, it's up to you, i think it's still a useful tutorial to help understand how rendertarget works. the disclaimer that setclip makes the tutorial bit obsolete is in the tutorial:
"Remark: since the original publication of this tutorial, real clipping capability was added to Gideros, thus now it's easy to clip using the Sprite:setClip function, see Docs.giderosmobile.com for details. Nevertheless this tutorial remains to be a good introduction on how to use renderTarget. "

so again, it's up to you if you want to include it or not.

@john26 Great job with the Gideros videos on YouTube!! Perfect!!

@john26 Looking forward for more videos. Nice job there.

keszegh · May 2016

@john26, nice videos, perhaps they should have their own gideros channel or something? being not mixed up with your other videos would make them slightly more accessible and professional looking.

john26 · May 2016

Thanks everyone. Next up: 3d graphics!

Also, do people want/need good subtitles? For the first video I made created subtitles by hand (well corrected the auto generated ones) but it takes several hours for a 45 min video. The other videos just have auto generated subtitles atm (which are often wrong). How important is this? I can do it for all videos if needed.

@keszegh, yes, you are right. Let me set up a Gideros channel and transfer them ( or can I just share them in some way?)

keszegh · May 2016

i would not need subtitles.
i don't know youtube that much, but if you search for 'youtube multiple channel with one account' then you see that e.g. it's possible to have several channels with one account (which you may have known already).

john26 · October 2016

I've added a new video tutorial, this time on mouse/touch events:

keszegh · October 2016

here http://giderosmobile.com/guide you could add a red 'new' sign next to the most recent videos i guess.

john26 · October 2016

And here's another, on the Layout class for GUIs
