Hello all.
While on the board today, I was reading a message from Code Monkey who was going to write a tutorial but wanted feedback to see if anyone wanted it.
I started thinking that this site would benefit from a users tutorial area, and because of this I propose that all users who are able to write simple tutorials for the benefit of the newcomers to the Darkbasic language post here, on this thread, what tutorial they are going to produce.
That way there will be no duplication of tutorials and new users of Darkbasic can come to one specific thread and find out if a tutorial exists (or will exist) over a specific topic.
Perhaps a Moderator could make this a “sticky topic� so that it does not get lost?
Ok, well I guess I will start this with what I am doing for this board.
Lets keep it to an easy to read format when posting, and when you have your tutorial ready, use an active link within your post to jump to it.
Here is my list of tutorials that I will be doing for the board members this year:
