By popular request, I've put together a quick start guide for Correlation.  Let me know what you guys think, including suggestions.

http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7326.0;attach=6845

Also, if you would like to be a new person to test Correlation, YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ THE FULL MANUAL TO TEST ANYMORE.  But you still need to be willing to make a decent program rather than just "goof around" with Correlation.

Awesome! One thing, however: Is the Quick start guide yellow image supposed to overlap on the manual title, though? I see "For Basic" but nothing that is behind.

@yeongJIN_COOL Very, very similar process.  Once you understand the Quick Start Guide, starting the manual won't be so hard.  And the manual tells you how to do the custom size.

@DJ That is intentional.  It happened to look nice ;D

Ah I see. It indeed looks nice actually. I wasn't sure at first since I pressed CTRL+A and it looked like there was text selected behind, but I guess it wasn't the case.

So, wait, will int work for vars while correlation is running? I use it quite often.....I hope it only bothers it if it has quotes.

Yay for a release! I had a thought: MP using the extra font!

Oh dear, what's MP?

No worries, Int( will only hassle if there's quotes.  Otherwise it really will compute integers.

I found a typo(?) in ur manual
Code: [Select]
1:Asm(pgrmCORELATE
int(“TESTFONT
ln(1,1,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,2,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,3,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,4,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,5,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,6,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,7,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
int(“DD
Pause
0:Asm(pgrmCORELATE

Isn't it supposed to be
Code: [Select]
1:Asm(pgrmCORELATE
int(“TESTFONT
ln(1,1,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,2,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,3,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,4,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,5,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,6,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,7,”AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
ln(1,8,"AAAABBBBBBBBAAAA
int(“DD
Pause
0:Asm(pgrmCORELATE
?

That was not a typo.  I did that on purpose to show how ln( works like Output( does.  In other words, text wraps to the next line when the edge of the screen is reached.

I can't really test right now, I have a s***load of projects atm, but maybe later.

this is reminding me of getting certs, except this is 'Correlation Certification Version 1.0 B' ;)

Maybe OS 2.53MP and later added extra fonts?

Personally if he means that I would avoid using such fonts, since then the game would only be losable on 2.53MP or higher. On older OSes people would get a nice error message upon sending the program.
