Tutorial Request Thread

[Scipi]

With the new tutorial section coming up, I felt this thread needed to be created for people to request tutorials on certain topics.


Tutorials Requested:

-A beginners Axe tutorial which shows you how to start coding in Axe as well as many of the basic features and how to use them correctly and eases the programmer into Axe.

-A raycasting tutorial in Axe

-A 3d polygon engine in Axe

I'm currently writing an explosion tutorial which will probably be finished by today.

I myself would like to see a beginners Axe tutorial which shows you how to start coding in Axe as well as many of the basic features and how to use them correctly and eases the programmer into Axe.

Similarly, I would like to see a beginners' ASM tutorial that builds upon the readers' existing knowledge of Axe.  This would give them a nice stepping stone rather than jumping in head first.

While it builds off of TI-BASIC, have you checked out Hot Dogs ASM Tutorials for the Absolute Beginner?

I would be very interested in two tutorials:

One, a raycasting tutorial in Axe. Maybe by Runer112 or someone else who knows how to do textures on walls and stuff.

Two, a tutorial, probably by thepenguin77, about how he made his 3d polygon engine thingy for star fox. That, and/or how such a beast could be translated to Axe.

I know it's not related to calcs, but a tutorial on the Win32 API would be greatly appreciated. I've been getting in a bit over my head with it.

Maybe a book would be better for you...

When you only want solid polygons, polygon 3D engines aren't that hard to make. Mine is almost entirely based on this wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection .
I would suggest first trying it in an easyer langue than asm, but if you can do signed 8.8 fixed point math in axe (I don't know much abouth axe), then you can also directly write it in axe.

This guy probably has what you're looking for.

A couple of weeks ago I looked for that book at our local library, and they didn't have it.

Which one?

A tutorial request thread seems like a good idea, providing request are not followed with death threats when not answered fast enough

Since I can't encourage piracy.... I'd recommend using Microsoft's own documentation (which can be found here). They tend to be very in-depth about "normal" topics, although you're pretty much on your own if you want to do anything out of the ordinary (such as write your own code ).
