A tutor

I wanna write a tutor for QBXP (I feel good now!) but I don't know what too write about. Please post your requests.

I cannot do:
3D
Advanced math (why I can't do 3D)
Uhh... other (advanced) math stuff

I am good at:
GFX
Theries
Normal Math
Pointless Points (mabye with a tutor...)

Other:
Thinking about making a object oriented demo (like the one tutor I sent in) and explaining it.
Thinking about a short article on DOS batch.

Pete:
To get people motivated to write, why not make awards? Streaks, total, and content awards. Ya know, sorta rate em. Have Kevin (XTR) do your GFX for the awards, too. Mabye have him use his pixel-shifting skills so we can get a custumized, one-of-a-kind trophee. That would make me write every time... if I thought of something. Heck, why not talk about some of my mods... or my walkie talkie mod...

Everyone that watches G4TechTV:

Anyone know why Yoshi and that short guy got fired? YOSHI RULED!!!
The nintendo DS community wants him to make a DS mod that lets them go online... I am right along with them. My DS is one decimeter (for those non-metric peeps (like me) thats about 1 foot) away from me! You read the whole thing... wow, you have no life... like me :cry:

I like the awards idea, though I think doing awards every issue would be overkill.

Maybe at the end of the year (after issue 12), I'll do an annual QB Express awards issue, and give awards for people who submitted the most / best stuff.

I like your idea Pete.

Ummmm, Nate a tutor, eh?
3D, Trig (for rotating, trans polor to cartisan), and Multimodular Calculus(normal vectors for culling and shading) too?

Well I have no clue.
Those ARE REALLY difficult subjects and I know squat of trig and calc.

However there is some light on this, I learned enough to do 3D stuff in it.
Everything up to shading. That was beyond me.

I will not tutor you BUT if you look at Rel's 3D tut and if you try it I will help any questions you may have on it. Really I had no understanding of this and you need none with his TUT!

So there you go.

Never looked at rels... :lol: I'lll check em out!
But the only trig I can to is tan...

Topic?

XTR: I was thinking of a normal trophie and mabye a requested picture on it, or just a design. This way, no one can claim your trophie on thiers: it will have you name on it!

Hello the topic IS A tutor!

But anyway I couldn't EVEN do Tan when I looked at those. I didn't even know what Tan was! If you study these it will help you very much, I ttook me a week of in-depth studing to learn it. And another to make my 3D engine for my program.

But that would have gone faster if ego had somebody to help me in the difficle parts. Hmmm...I must be tired I putting Latin in my post. Sorry. if I had somebody to help me in the difficult parts...

:) eh? xtr? Nate? XTR? If you want to talk to me, or note me on here.. I'm not going to be scanning for "xtr",.. just "Kev", "Kevin", "Ratt", "Rattrap", ect... xtr blends into the post more than the others,.. :wink:

Hmm,.. have you done a parser tut yet? or have you? :D There is a idea..

Good idea on the tut.

How about XTR as capitals? Did you see that Rattra? :lol:

Hmmm...topic. I quote from Nate: "A Tutor" so there :P

I still say that making an AI in QB or any other language is unthinkable...(Haven't you seen terminator?)

:shock: Terminater!! Where!! Isn't he the governor of California??

Yeah a AI, but parsing is just the same as my HTML decoder, or so one over at QBN quoted... I think Nate should write up on it, AI or not.. just his code taught me... :D ... so the idea stands..

Yeah, all caps "XTR", I see, but I'm not inclined to look for it.... or pick up on quick tho odds are I will, but I like Ratt n stuff betta.. :wink:

Your not inclined to look at it? ?-\ or is this better: ^_-
Or do you mean your going to ignore it?

Your right a parser is what your HTML decoder is...

BTW I don't think I'm going to be calling you Rat any time soon.

What ever happend to my :D Mit's Tip of the Post :D ? *sigh* lasted for 1 day is what then I ran out of good things to say...heh :roll:
