Sup guys. It's tutorial summer, and I've been working on one for the past several weeks. I just uploaded a very rough early version of the first video to YouTube. Please watch this and give me some honest criticism. Tell me if there are logical gaps in my explanation, or if it just isn't clear. (Don't be afraid to be honest, I know that my voice narration is really bad!) I've been working on this by myself for such a long time that I don't know if it even makes sense.

That is epic sauce. ;D
I love all the little puns you have. I didn't expect a full blown presentation either. When I make a tutorial, I don't plan really, I just talk. Probably why yours is 7 minutes and mine are 30+ minutes....
Way cool, the video demos in it were a really nice touch. And the hushed voice adds a sort of focus effect.
I feel smarter.

I like the presentation, but throughout the time of this thread, I've been thinking of Worms, and worms breaks the "Dense Powder" rule. Collapses don't happen, so I imagine a worms-esque game with material that doesn't collapse would be significantly easier to program, giving you more time to add sheep.
Also, what about 3D terrain? That's gotta be a challenge.

Thanks Gan! :D I spent a lot of time on the slideshow. Do you think I should re-record the voice narration, or should I keep it the way it is? I kind of like my mistakes, but I don't know if people might find them offensive ("I don't think you can even read", etc.). I forgot to add an introduction message at the beginning, so I need to add that.

I think you're right. Worms requires a 2D array, and that's the most natural way to program a 2D game. What do you mean about adding sheep?
Also, what about 3D terrain? That's gotta be a challenge.
Haha. Don't expect me to make a video about that. I don't know anything about 3D.

That's not offensive, it made me laugh. I think the narration is awesome as-is.

Zoo was referring to the chat box game... cause it took forever until I finally added sheep.
-
Nope. Sheep. It's a worms thing. You can use sheep as a weapon in worms. Good guess though.
-
Hehe. Now I remember. The exploding sheep. ;D
Well, I guess I'll keep the voice narration as-is, with the addition of a short introductory message at the beginning. I'll upload it tomorrow and post the link.

Part 1 is up!

You did fine Circuit, I'm looking forward to learning how you made your engine. All these curve equations are beyond me.
also lol

Thanks Connors :D Part 2 should be done and uploaded sometime next week.
-
Well, next week came and went. More than a year has passed, but the second video is nearly finished! Man-oh-man, this was a hard one to make... took me a whole year! Actually, to tell you the truth, I stopped after the first video because the internet didn't show any interest in my videos for several months. But I got a couple of positive comments recently, so I decided to start up again. I don't like to disappoint people.
Hey Gan, can you fix the HTML5 GM? I really want to record a screencap for my third video, but I get database errors when I try to open my games...
-
Interesting, I'll have to take a look at it later today.
Edit: Looks like the SQL credentials have changed. I messaged Ghost.
-
Part 2 (http://youtu.be/mFRW3yuKat4) is up, and part 1 (http://youtu.be/6nc3op6RhtI) has been remade.
-
HTML5 GM is fixed.
-
Well, I might have to watch the second video a couple more times to really understand what you're doing, but it seems you did well in explaining it all... So, did you program this stuff in Silver Creator? That sounds... painful.
-
To be frank, you're probably tired of listening to my voice. And to be truthful, I'm a little tired of talking.
;D
This stuff is way cool and intense.

Excellent! Thanks Gan.

I did the piecewise linear and quadratic functions in SC, and the polynomial in HTML5 GM. The SC stuff was indeed painful, due to the global variables... which is one of the reasons why I migrated to HTML5 GM.

Thanks. :D I'm hoping that these videos will help me to get my first job as a programmer. I don't have a huge portfolio of work or a long list of professional references, so I made these videos to show off my problem-solving skills.
-
Part 3 (http://youtu.be/nS_oRhijCBA) is up. That's all folks!
-
That's awesome. Seriously impressive stuff.

Thanks Gan. :D This series took a long time to make. I hope that people will find it useful.

(double post)
I learned some lessons while making these videos. If you guys ever make tutorial videos, heed my advice:
- Spare yourself some grief: don't use Keynote '09 for narrated slideshows. The video export feature is badly broken.
- Use flat colors or photos as backgrounds. Gradients are hard to compress correctly.
- iMovie is a pretty good editor, but sometimes you should use an alternative encoder such as Handbrake.
- Informative videos can take a LONG time to make. Be careful when committing to a series.
