LÖVE

I'm gonna start some Love2d video tutorials today, so if anyone has any requests, or if you wanna help out, post a comment!;D I'll be posting the videos on this post as well as youtube.

ALRIGHT GUYS:
So in the tutorials we started a new project to help teach the viewers about Love2d. A super simple top-down shooter, your character will probably be a box. And I'm going to teach about dt and velocity movement and stuff.




**Update**
I'm going to start taking requests, so if you have any, post a comment or send me a message and I'll add them to the to do list!:D

(Not in order)
To do:
Collision(Without Physics)
Smooth Player Movement(Without Physics)
Camera Movement
Clean main.lua
Menu
Animations

Info:
I'm trying to finish film my basic tutorials as soon as possible. Just because I want these tutorials to also be kind of a resource to game dev's. So as soon as I'm done with my basic tutorials, I promise to start doing more advanced ones, like on the to do list. So all-in-all I'm not doing the to-do list until I finish the basic tutorials.


Current tutorials: 1-6


Next in Line: Tutorial #5, making our own player functions.

This sounds like an omega useful resource.

How about side-scrolling?
I've been reading viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7674 and am quite confused. Maybe it's because there is a variety or proposals in there, but I'm aiming to do the same thing as he original poster but have not managed.

I'll do it!:D But It will probably be a later tutorial, I'm going to start off the tutorials and teach, as if the viewers have never programmed before(Which is probably going to be true for about 3 of my 4 viewers:)

There are actually people around complaining about the "bad" quality of LOVE tutorials and "want better tutorials for LOVE" viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8181
A small list from that thread.

- Gameturn handeling
- Advanced Sidescrolling
- Bot Programming
- Parenting
- Main/Pause menu programming
- Collision

If you want make someone happy go ahead...

I'm a brand new user, and my goal is eventually to help my community build a mega-man style game.

The tutorials on the Wiki are great, but one needs better advice on which ones to tackle first. Perhaps you might devote one episode to helping newbies navigate the community, or the online resources.

Topics of immediate interest to me
Collision without using love.physics.
How to organize the main.lua file. I.e. where to put functions.
How to put code in other files, and then call them from there.

This is a style choice! You'll find there isn't a standard or best way to do this.

Good to hear!:D I finished my first video, it should be posted sometime in the next few days, but I might make some specific tutorials as well as do some tutorials that start out super basic, and then get more advanced.
So if you, or anyone, has any specific requests. I'll make a video tutorial of it as soon as possible!:D
