mcgrue	Overkill has made a new tutorial aimed at all you guys out there who are just starting out with verge3 that explains all of the stuff that us ancient old-timers take for granted to the point that we don't think about it anymore. Sorry, we're so old we can't remember ever not knowing this stuff. I blame the schools. Anyway, if you'd like to get started making games with verge, this tutorial is an exceptionally good place to start! Thank Overkill, and if you find this tutorial useful, tell us about it in the forums. We love feedback. It's our main source of sustenance for our frail, craven egos!

rosh.r03	OMG! thanks Overkill this new tut is G-R-E-A-T it makes it alot easier to understand Posted on 2005-12-09 07:47:56
zonker6666	Overkill, having tried to put that kind of stuff to words and failed horribly I can honestly say you did a superb job. Posted on 2005-12-09 14:07:24
Overkill	Hey, thanks guys. Zonker: The key thing I did was take screenshots of my progress as I went, and saved notable code changes as new vc file, and then wrote the actual article afterwards. That way I didn't get lost in thinking about writing when I was also thinking about making code and solving problems. I mean, when I look at my own work afterwards, it should explain itself, so I can use the work I've done to form the explanation. It took much less time to write using this method.

mcgrue	You should explain how to rename files. Windows users may not know how to: * Right-click on the file and choose 'rename' or * left click once on the file and hit 'F2' or * left click once on the file and then once again. You might think it odd, but as a former helpdesker, I have definitely found people that didn't know how to rename files. Also, not every windows user has their file extensions visible! Both of these subjects would be good sidebars in OK's Poigniant Guide to Verge 3! Posted on 2005-12-09 23:04:59
Omni	It is arguable that if you do not know how to rename a file, you probably shouldn't attempt programming just yet... Posted on 2005-12-10 08:59:08
zonker6666	rofl, thats very true Posted on 2005-12-10 14:14:37
mcgrue	The only way to teach someone who doesn't know is to tell them. Posted on 2005-12-10 14:53:59
zeromus	Users dont know how to right-click either. When you say right-click, they get confused and left-click. Then next time you say "click" they say "right click?" and you say "no, left click." then, they move the mouse to the left side of their keyboard and click. Posted on 2005-12-11 16:41:49
mcgrue	Sometimes, yeah. All things must be learned at some point. Also, we should have a mac-user tutorial too, but that's an exercise in futility until there's a mac maped. :( Posted on 2005-12-11 16:55:27

It's a lot prettier this go around because of Jon Wofford.
