I'm starting a tutorial on Verge3. Check it out. The first part is done so far. Comments?

EDIT: Why isn't ³ a valid HTML entity on vrpg?

WOW! Looks really awesome! This looks like a huge undertaking that could be extremely useful to the game development scene as a whole. Your table of contents is super impressive, so impressive that I have to ask if you plan on doing it all yourself? Would you accept/delegate certain articles to the community in an effort to keep the enthusiasm/productivity level high? Of course, the TOC is clearly your vision, what would be a more difficult task, editing other people's articles or writing them yourself?

Anonymnous: Thanks. It'd be great to have everyone involved, actually. Though I should admit it would be a tad more difficult to edit others works. It might be possible if people contributed plain-text which I would format upon later or simple html (sticking to the basic h1 to h6, b, i, u, pre, a, img and so on), which would fixed up and CSS'd. Teamwork documentation would make my work go a lot faster. The only thing I would like to reserve is the first few chapters (general coding, textbox, menu). The rest are free for others to write articles on. Then, just send the stuff to me. Any ideas for new chapters could also be added. Who be this man of mystery with such good ideas?

Troupe: I'd prefer calling it shameless self-promotion. Just capitalizing on myself. I've got most of the other important must-reads not by me in that section as well, though. I forgot to link Omni's tutorial, but I can't seem to find it, either :(. Also, Troupe, when are you going to finish your tracking tutorial? ;__;

I skimmed through the first part and seems very solid and straight forward. I'm going to try the 'Hello World' tutorial first of all when I get a chance but it will be your own and Rysen's I'll be reading after that.

You mentioned that if you'd had any requests for other tutorials you'd concider doing them, so is there any chance of a planning and design guide, or even (hint hint) a breakdown and guide to make a combat system?

Hey, thanks DanteC, and sure, a combat system tutorial sounds like a cool idea. I've realized how tedious of a task the second tutorial is, explaining VC. So it's there, but I'm not sure it'll make a whole lot of since to just anyone. A tutorial on some basics about combat systems would be a nice break.

Your articles have horrible names :-D

;___; They're horrible puns, but they have good intentions.

Tutorial 2 is now up, to confound or educate you. It was very stressful to write. I hope someone finds it useful, because that took about 2 weeks! :/

Tracking tutora-what?

Oh right, you never started working on it, did you... ;___;

Glad you liked it and that writing what I have so far isn't a waste of my time. Hopefully it taught you some things you didn't know about Verge, and taught you the jist of some of starter things. Also, before anyone yells about code not working, I didn't test most of it, and other parts, such as the variable section's code, don't use functions because I thought I should keep it simple by introducing functions after you know what variables are, since you should need to know what variables are first. Hope all this material, and my post makes sense.

Hey, man. Cool down. I'm just sayin', and it must be true, because you've been able to pick up and count the number of times I've repeated a certain statement within my posts.

Hope that made sense. :D ...All right, in future I'll try to stop. ...Fun ruiner ;__;

Nah, that sounds too nice to be something that comes from 'obnoxious Joewoof', so...

It's not funny. At all. It just smells fishy, like barnacles.
