Another Danmakufu Tutorial?
Naut:
Since the archived forums aren't going to be up forever, all of our delicious reference scripts are being flushed down the toilet. So this leaves remarkably little information regarding how to script in Danmakufu, aside from the random script you may have saved from the old forums, and the three tutorials (two of which don't explain how to actually code attacks, just dress them up).
So, I've begun work on an "intermediate" Danmakufu tutorial, which basically picks up where Blargel's tutorial left off. It will include:
-Mediocre techniques on how to produce semi-complex patterns (looping bullet creation to make rings of bullets, incrementing variables in loops to produce patterns, spawning bullets in uniform circles around an origin using sin and cos, etc).
-Explanation of tasks and how to use them effectively
-Boss movement (because the basic tutorial did not include a boss movement section)
-How to use object bullet creation and tasks to make scripted indestructable bullets
-How to string scripts together to make a mini-stage/plural script
So this is all I can think of. Anything that I should add to the list, or perhaps take off? I already have the first section completed (mediocre bullet patterns), so if you'd like to personally help with the tutorial or see it in it's current state for whatever reason, my MSN is Nautth@hotmail.com
I welcome any and all assistance.

According to 7HS we'll find out this weekend if the DMF wiki is going to survive, these would be worthy additions to it.
Naut:
What's going on this weekend? Also, nice Mod position.
Stuffman:
Oh I asked 7HS about the wiki in IRC and he said he was going to fool around with it this weekend, that's all. So we'll find out if the migration will be any trouble or not.
Also uh yeah apparently they needed someone to mod for this board and they wanted someone with Danmakufu knowledge so I'm a mod now. I doubt I'll need to do much actual moderation, but if we need to shuffle stickies or whatever as we improve our resources, I've got the tools to do it. I suppose this weekend I'll go digging through the old boards and see if there's anything else useful I care to transfer.
My green name is more exciting than the actual powers.
Naut:
"Fool around with it..."
Sounds enthralling.
The green name is pretty sexy, gotta say. But it doesn't appear green in the "online users" bar. You got ripped off, methinks.
