Future Video Series Coming Soon!

[LeonBlade]

With the arival of my new computer, this means I'll have enough computer power to record my computer and start making tutorials...
These will have audio, unlike those shitty tutorials that are full of bull shit with people opening notepad to type messages...

I'll be making videos on: Flash (ActionScript 3.0), Flex, RPG Maker VX (RGSS 2 Scripting), PHP & MySQL, XN-gay (XNA eventually).

The first videos will be as following...

Flash: Creating Your Own YouTube Player (taking advantage of rating and comments )
Flex: Creating Your Own Flickr (or Twitter) App
RPG Maker VX: Creating Your Own Money Script
PHP & MySQL: Making A Simple Blog

Working titles obviously...

Now, LOTS of you will be like... RPG Maker... LMAO
Well, I'm not doing the bullshit, I'm using the Script Editor in it which uses RGSS 2 a form of Ruby to program things.
So I'm still focusing on scripting, hopefully pushing people from RPG Maker easy crap into real game making giving them a taste of what programming is like...

I'm looking forward to messing around in Flash and Flex because I haven't been able to in a very long time.
Look forward to seeing some of these tutorials very soon!
Possibly Saturday or Sunday

Let me track my package... Okay right now it is in Ohio (I live in New York) so it is expected to reach my house on Saturday.
I wont be in school Monday so I'll have Sunday and Monday to work on these videos...

These wont be bullshit videos like I said, real professional like. I'll upload them in a lower quality and resolution to YouTube, but I'll keep the video in a better format on my website in a higher resolution for a more better viewing experience.

My first flash based video like stated above will be creating a custom player for your own website to view videos.
However, I wont be using the youtube videos on my website, I'll be using the full quality videos, but still keeping the rating and comments from Youtube, which will make things very interesting

Tell me what you guys think, and if you have any suggestions on a series you'd like to see me work on, or any ideas for the series I have currently, leave a reply here.

Thanks for reading, and this was NOT a phone post ,

Good, good... I'll be sure to check them out and put random comments on them I'm not kidding btw.

The good thing about the notepad ones is I can watch them at places where I can't turn up the speakers (work, school)

[LeonBlade]

I'll add YouTube Captions lol

[Marx Chaotix]

I will be looking forward to the ActionScript3.0 videos since I am getting into it. I am reading a book about it, however I am having somewhat of a difficult understanding of it.

[LeonBlade]

The package is in Syracuse (40 minutes away)
So it will be leaving there today, and ariving at my house today
Well, it's like 2 AM or something so I consider it today.

The videos will be done today after I get everything set up!
Now... I sleep...

[LeonBlade]

Hey leon whats better. XP or VX?

[LeonBlade]

Hey leon whats better. XP or VX?

VX was like Vista lol EPOCH PHAIL!!!

Well, that's what everyone thought at first...
When it comes down to it, VX is technically better...

But lots of it is based on your taste of Resources like the Graphics and Sounds...
RGSS2 is obvioiusly better than RGSS so that makes VX better there.
You only have 2 layers instead of the usual 3 which is pretty random and annoying.

VX has a lot of old features from 2000 and 98 like faces in the message box and stuff, and upgrades the scripting engine.
But takes away stuff like the 3rd layer.

So it's really up to you, personally I like it better than XP because I found VX's graphics much better...
Try them both out and decided for yourself I guess...

P.S. I'll be releasing a new video soon (I've had computer troubles )

Yeah so heres a question for you.

Say i got a secret dragon realm in my game. A colony of dragons that once you do certian tasks let them into parts of their towns. Can that currency script be used like:

I have Gold which is currency for human places. And blue dragon scales which is currency for Red Dragon places.

And does it work for XP?

You can use the script just like that yes.
In the title, save, and load sections you would make 2 global variables instead of just one so like:

Code: Select all

$game_hgold = new CustomGold.new
$game_bdgold = new CustomGold.new

hgold = human gold
bdgold = blue dragon gold

You can make them be whatever you want, then just add them for loading and saving and you got two different Gold systems working.

As for working on XP, I would assume so, I didn't use anything that was new to RGSS2 so I think it should work just fine.
I'll be making a part two to that Custom Gold thing soon about making windows for it so you can display your gold on your menu system or whatever.

I'll be making a particle system script in ActionScript 3.0 today so look out for that tutorial soon!
