I loves Jquery, it's so awesome for web design

Am I the only one who thinks Jquery is some obscure rapper?

Here's a handy what-not I do when returning to dormant projects: Make a list of general ideas and elements for your game. It's incredibly self explanatory but it really does help re-spark your motivation and remind yourself what you actually need to work on. I did a quick list the other day just to remind myself how simple the game engine is and how little work will be involved in making it, and now I've been brainstorming all sorts of cool ideas throughout the day.

Anyways, just thought I'd throw the tip out there.

EDIT:

btw, I don't mean anything fancy, just basic stuff. Here's my list:

[Silverwind]

yea, Jquery handles all css formatting, you can just say lets say $("elementname").hide(); and it will even animate it.

Its truely epic and a must have for any JS programmer.

I've downloaded the jquery.js file, but how do I use it?

[GMG Hendo]

add the include and reference the library

add effects to elements. Jquery website has piles of examples

Whoops, what I meant was: I've never referenced JavaScript from a file before, I've just written code in pages themselves. How do I define the source?

EDIT:

If I include

Code: [Select]

<script src="./jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>

in my header, is that the only time I need to reference the source? As in, from then on can I just call methods as if I'd written them in the pages themselves?

Wow, fadeIn/Out are awesome!

EDIT:

The effects seem quite similar to the SPRY library.

Yes, yes they are.

Just another update on how the inventory's shaping up:



It'll look nicer when it's finished, but the layout is generally final.

EDIT:

Fixed the image up a bit.

That looks amazing.

Awesome. Feel free to use my edited tiles in this.

Wow! That's very generous of you Hampster, but I've been planning to use the revamped RS set for a long tong time. It's great that we have such a helpful community though.

Man, I just can't wait to finish the game. If I can put what I've got on paper onto the screen I'll be well pleased; it's the game I've always wanted to make (and more importantly play!).

Progress, progress, progress!

[Mystor]

Same here.

unfortunately, most of the time I do not have the motivation to get off my butt and do something, but when I do I can get a lot of stuff done quickly.

I need someone to give me an idea for a simple arcadey game to make in XNA 3d so I can get used to the syntax, commands and most of all, make something.

Do what I did to learn to program for the iPhone:
(1) Make a game with a ball that bounces around the screen. No user input needed.
(2) Make a game where you move and rotate boxes on the screen.
(3) Start group project and create rpg.
