Tired of my lack of educational material?

Post by Arce »

Continually you'll find me lurking the programming discussion forums, posting little bits here and there, but almost ignoring topics that practically have my name on them...

I received this message on youtube the other day...
I have an awesome idea!!! How about The Great Arce does a tutorial for Blitz?
To which Gyro appropriately responded:
The great Arce needs to get his ass to work on his level editor. He doesn't have time to be writing tutorials. :D
However, I felt compelled to give him a more accurate account of what's up, and I think it's a response worthy of being seen by all those requesting Blitz Plus tutorials here.
Response by Arce:

I am quite knowledgeable In BlitzPlus, as well as C/++ and Java...As for tutorials, I'm not sure I have time. =/

Right now I'm a highschool Junior. I have an Internship with Raytheon Integrated Defense during the day, so I'm constantly having to keep myself ahead in school as I am missing over 6 classes a week. I'm taking all AP (college level courses), and to top this all off am in the process of preparing my level editor to be entered into a state science fair. Not to mention the usual Junior obligations, such as taking the SAT/ACT, touring colleges, saving up for Prom, etc...

So unfortunately, writing tutorials isn't on the top of my list. If there's a specific topic you'd like me to address, please join the forums at http://elysianshadows.com and post it under "programming discussion." I may or may not be able to get to it...

And uh, if you didn't know, our team is currently taking donations for the camera fund. As shallow and douche-bagish as it sounds, I would be more than happy to cut some time out of my day to write a tutorial or post a video explanation of a topic if that's what you want us to do for your donation. We've got a donation form on our website where you can submit your request and amount, if that's something you're willing to do.

Again, thanks for you interest and sorry in advance if I am unable to get to your tutorial request. I'd still recommend posting it on our forums, though.
