When this comes out, will you also provide an offline version available for download on ticalc.org and that I can put in our downloads section? It migth be nice if someone has no internet access for a while or can't access the forums.

WANT.

Have patience, people.  Do you want a half-baked tutorial or do you want a full featured one?

It will be in the form of a PDF with sample programs.

Aaah cool ^^. Just one thing, though: regardless of if you release this in a few days, in a few weeks or in a few months, could you still help me at one point with half-byte tilemapping collision detection? It would be preferable if you came on IRC for this, though, on a tuesday or every two weekends, so we can chat in private.

I'm in the same boat as DJ. half-byte is giving me some trouble as well. Let me know whenever you guys get around to discussing it.

Err, I can give a quick and dirty explanation of half-byte tiles really quick.
D3
This is a byte.  It has two nibbles, or half-bytes, "D" and "3"
Assume that D3 is stored in A.
In Axe, you can extract the first nibble (aka half-byte) with A/16.  This returns D, or 13.
A^16 returns the second nibble, or 3.
Armed with this information, take another look at my tilemapping tutorial.

Sorry about the double post.
Attached is a very early draft of the guide.  It is not the current version, because I didn't want to give too much away.  I took out everything except the grayscale and the basic documentation, both of which are incomplete.  The reason for this is because I don't want to give the entire tutorial away, but I wanted some advice on the general style.  What do you guys think?

This sounds really cool. I'll check out the document. Would you like error reports and such if any are found?
