Third-party Axe tutorial
« on: September 25, 2011, 11:20:20 pm »
Something I've always wanted to write is a complete tutorial on coding in Axe, and it seems like nobody's done a full one in English yet (kindermoumoute has one in French, and SirCmpwn had been working on one in English but never finished and is now gone), so I've started. All I have done is an introduction, but I've already set up the layout for everything, and I'm planning to combine some of my old (shorter) tutorials to fill in the holes in this one. Comments and suggestions are very welcome :)

Ooh, very cool. This will be very useful, as I've seen a lot of new people around. I am always here, if you need any help with anything at all.

Oh, forgot to mention that part. Yes, I will definitely convert it to BBCode to post here when I'm done with a significant portion, but not before. I always kept my "arrays" and "SHMUP" tutorials updated everywhere it was posted, and updating copies on three different forums with three different BBCode syntaxes every time I changed a URL or image got to be really annoying x.x

I really like the image for chapter 1, and the expanding Javascript expanding thing :)

Question: Are you planning to take a 'here's how to do things, quickly' approach, or a more comprehensive 'bottoms-up' approach where you discuss the internals of the calc first?

My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Bottoms-up. I'm planning to make this page 2 and a mini-tutorial on binary/hexadecimal page 3. The PDF in the Axe package is one of the best quick-start guides I've seen for any language.

Yeah, I worked a lot on that slide thing :)

And as for http://clrhome.tk/tutorials/axe/what.png, I got the idea from the Wikipedia logo XD

Hot. Nice job, I remember back in the days when I started trying to learn TI-BASIC off these obscure tutorials online; we definitely need an axe one.

Oh, I've been waiting for something like this. A lot of the tutorials out there for Axe just don't do it for me. :D

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

I'm now working on Lesson 2: Playing with Data (an explanation of data and pointers) before I do that comparison page.
