You could read the demo Vortezz provided, try to figure out how it works, and then use that as a starting point to work on your own And if there is something you find missing from Vortezz's demo, then you could help out by mentioning what it is so it can be improved. | |

This brings up a request I've had for a while: There should be a way to redownload a library/game. Right now this situation comes up once in a while: The version you downloaded is hosed or deleted, and you can't replace it. Meantime best thing to do is get someone to email it to you. | |

It would really be useful to me, I just started this coding thing about 5 days ago and I am trying to get the book but I also like tutorials they help me alot (atleast until they crash like vortezz's). I have your library of character handling, but I really dont understand it. ~~PyRoMaNiAc~~ | |

Deadron, your good at making tutorials will you make me one please? You're in luck I've already made several. Check out these: byond://Deadron.WalkingClicking byond://Deadron.SimpleLoop byond://Deadron.StepBYOND byond://Deadron.CharacterSaving By the time you've looked at those in detail and made simple little games based on them, you will be in good shape. | |

Deadron wrote: First things first, there are many kinds of tutorials, and, I started not too long ago and in the first few days what I read was ZBT (Zilals Beginner Tutorial), A Step BYOND, I read the Guide, Faq, Glanced over the reference and then started. Those are all very good places to look if you dont understand something, and I recommend reading them all through (This is just incase your looking for things to read, which you seem to be) think a person can pretty much get started on DM with those (I wouldnt know too well, I knew some C and C++ prior to this and it helped a lot in understanding how the basics worked) Also take a look at the demos. I guess what im trying to say is theres LOADS of information on this site to get started, and if you dont understand the basics of coding (Which is all you need to go from, then you can move onto more and more advanced things one step at a time, and itl become a little clearer) you should try reading them through until they become clear. Im seeing more and more posts like these, if this keeps up il be forced to do something in my spare time besides DoH(A welcome break, mind you) and cook up a newbie tutorial (Im not sure how much help it would be, mind you) Anyways, hope that was a LITTLE clear atleast Alathon | |

But....could you make a tutorial on how to make a login screen? Since Vortezz's is messed up on my computer? It would really help me alot, I am still experimenting with this game I am making but so far so good No errors and No Warnings but all you can do is walk around (as I said before lol). Also, do you know a tutorial that teaches you stuff on how to make a gam STEP-BY-STEP because you Step BYOND thing is doing the same thing Vortezz's is doing. Well, thank you for your help in advance! ~~PyRoMaNiAc~~ | |

Right now this situation comes up once in a while: The version you downloaded is hosed or deleted, and you can't replace it. What works for me is to open up byond://WorldName##uninstall which will uninstall it (obviously) and then go back and install it as usual. But a more user friendly mechanism for this would certainly be nice. | |

Air Mapster's message tells you how to uninstall Vortezz's tutorial, after which you should be able to get it. | |

This shouldn't be a problem. | |

Deadrons Step BYOND works just fine, and shows a little more indepth what stuff does then ZBT does. The walking and clicking demo does exactly what it should, walk, and click :P It wasnt really meant to be a start for a game, but more a HELP on how to code this sort of thing. (Again, I say help, because all the code which people have posted on tutorials libs and demos can be copied but is also meant to help you eventually make your own) As for the login screen, im not going to help you because you cant click Tutorials->Character Handling Library Alathon | |
There is another tutorial for you.
Look in tutorials, then choose "CharChoice". It should be just what you need. | |
