Tutorial Request Thread
« on: July 29, 2011, 02:08:47 am »
With the new tutorial section coming up, I felt this thread needed to be created for people to request tutorials on certain topics.


Tutorials Requested:

-A beginners Axe tutorial which shows you how to start coding in Axe as well as many of the basic features and how to use them correctly and eases the programmer into Axe.

-A raycasting tutorial in Axe

-A 3d polygon engine in Axe

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

I'm currently writing an explosion tutorial which will probably be finished by today.
In-progress: Graviter (...)

I myself would like to see a beginners Axe tutorial which shows you how to start coding in Axe as well as many of the basic features and how to use them correctly and eases the programmer into Axe.

Similarly, I would like to see a beginners' ASM tutorial that builds upon the readers' existing knowledge of Axe.  This would give them a nice stepping stone rather than jumping in head first.  :)

While it builds off of TI-BASIC, have you checked out Hot Dogs ASM Tutorials for the Absolute Beginner?

I would be very interested in two tutorials:

One, a raycasting tutorial in Axe. Maybe by Runer112 or someone else who knows how to do textures on walls and stuff.

Two, a tutorial, probably by thepenguin77, about how he made his 3d polygon engine thingy for star fox. That, and/or how such a beast could be translated to Axe.

I know it's not related to calcs, but a tutorial on the Win32 API would be greatly appreciated. I've been getting in a bit over my head with it.

When you only want solid polygons, polygon 3D engines aren't that hard to make. Mine is almost entirely based on this wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection .
I would suggest first trying it in an easyer langue than asm, but if you can do signed 8.8 fixed point math in axe (I don't know much abouth axe), then you can also directly write it in axe.
My projects
 - The Lost Survivors (Unreal Engine) ACTIVE [GameCommandoSquad main project]
 - Oxo, with single-calc multiplayer and AI (axe) RELEASED (screenshot) (topic)
 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:
- A first person shooter with a polygon-based 3d engine. (z80, will probably be recoded in axe using GLib) ON HOLD (screenshot)
 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)
 - a minecraft game in axe DEAD (source code available)
 - a 3D racing game (axe) ON HOLD (outdated screenshot of asm version)

This guy probably has what you're looking for.

A couple of weeks ago I looked for that book at our local library, and they didn't have it. :(

A tutorial request thread seems like a good idea, providing request are not followed with death threats when not answered fast enough :P

Since I can't encourage piracy.... I'd recommend using Microsoft's own documentation (which can be found here). They tend to be very in-depth about "normal" topics, although you're pretty much on your own if you want to do anything out of the ordinary (such as write your own code :P).
