xlib guru can now be found
http://xlib.revsoft.org/index.php?title=Tutorial
Well, i've decided to carry on Necro's proposed idea of the Xlib Guru, a tutorial to help BASIC programmer's learn how to use xlib. I would really like to see this as a community project, contributed to by all members of the Calc programming society,not just omnimaga
If you would like to add in your own section,please just post it here,or pm/email me.
I am also looking for someone to help with formatting the tutorial, as i would like to see it in HTML, (but seeing it as i know crap about html),i'll need some major help there...if you can help out please pm/email me
The plan of this tutorial-
-written explanation of all xlib functions
-grayscale?
-tips and tricks
-map making,scrolling,etc...
Anyways, i hope for this to be a tutorial written just not by me, but by many,and be a community project!
btw, if you're wondering why i decided to write this,tr1p1ea included me in the credits of xlib, and i felt very undeserving of that, so i hope to help out in my small way
Well here's the first part that explains sprite usage and detailed explanation of the sprite command of xlib.I plan on adding some more tips and tricks with the sprite command, so expect more!

neat! I think I'll contribute some things...
As for making it html: I normally write in Word and then just paste paste it into my online blog editor ^^
Apparently it automatically converts it into html, it always worked.
I'd like to help as much as I can.

You get me a .txt, divided in sections, I will get you an html document, useable on the web, and as a zipped commponent.
That is one of the few things I am good at.

I could give you a tutorial for grayscale that has a guy moving around with hit detection on a grayscale map if you want me to.

Also I have something that I think no one has ever done. Made a number converter that converts a variable to make it come out as sprites with numbers you create if you want the code i could give it too you because it uses Xlib

I have something close to that in my sprite editor. It's a XPSE plugin that lets you select a sprite and it will generate the code for you when you run the plugin.
Screenshots are here.

As for XLib Guru, I could make some animations of the functions you can add to the HTML version...
