Socoder -> Off Topic -> What's June? : June is Teacher month!
Fri, 01 Jun 2007, 02:08
Jayenkai	June, a month full of days. Days are about doing things. Things can be learned. Learning is usually done at a school. Schools have computers. Teachers who teach about computers usually don't know a thing about computers. I could teach better than them. --- Or at least, I think that's how Blanko's mind was working when he suggested it be "Be a Teacher" month. So, this month, if you've a bit of spare time on your hands, and you've been meaning to write a tutorial about something for someone, but kept getting further and further into fiddling with the whole CSS/Themes thing, then you've got absolutely no excuse now. Write something (USEFUL!) and shove it in the Articles/Tutorial section. And if you can't find a place for it, let me know what sections I should be adding. Note : This is a purely theoretical example!! Honest!!! ---- This post used to say ---- I'd planned to have been done with the theme stuff by now, but with this week's unorganised chaos I'm a little behind (again!) I didn't have time to setup this month's planned "Month" thing (In fact, I didn't even realise we'd hit the end of May until this morning!), so I'm handing it over to you guys. What's this month all about? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

blanko1324	Site Coming to an End Month. Wait...we're still here! How about "Be a Teacher Month"? Everyone write an article. -=-=- My Twitter

mole	I think blanko's idea is good.
Fri, 01 Jun 2007, 08:28
Jayenkai	Okey dokey! June is "Write an Article" month.com Get writing! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Phoenix	I've written an article now, so I'll just wait for the others

caffeinekid	A very simple to follow article on netplay (hopefully for blitzmax) please. -=-=- www.tcksoft.co.uk www.retroremakes.com

power mousey	okay, cool. thank you, Jay. can we write anything article.....I mean within reason, using common sense. also is there a limit? um...you know, how I love to write and go down rabbit holes and such. And go on and off on tangents...sometimes. Now what to write about?? The Return of the Watchers, the deeper secrets of Pi, a film review of the new Pirates of the Carribean movie, metaphysical musings of the Muses and music, holistic holographic imagery, the dangers of pyschotronic warfare, Ordered Chaos of Social and Cultural Dynamics. among other things. hmmmm......:/ what to write about?? \|edit\| okay, sorry didn't read the whole beginning post. I'll um and yeah!!! write an article or tutorial on computers, or some code that I did. cool!! \|edit\|
Fri, 01 Jun 2007, 10:17
Jayenkai	Yeah, right!! Like that's gonna happen!! I've tried building up a decent set of netplay functions several thousand times, already! It ain't gonna happen! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Um, as far as I know, there's no limit to how big a post can be.. And articles are posts, so.. BUT.. If you make it too big, it might put people off being bothered to read it. That goes doubley for you Mousey If it gets really stupidly big, try splitting it into multiple pages, and posting each page seperately.. Then adding linkage to the previous+next articles. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

power mousey	doubley noted. can I post multiple articles? there are a few that I like to post. Two of them at least...have to do with Believe It or Not with 3d graphics and animations. and yeah, I'm learning and re-learning the Lessons of toning down my topics, posts, and replies too. And also of subject matter and content. Certainly bring down the Olympian wisdoms of Hera to lower bio-mass energy forms of mankind. And bring up from the bottomless pit or the sea of abyss those dark forms of knowledge that only the Watchers know. yeah, I'm certainly learning about being clear and concise and revising as well.

Jayenkai	You can post whatever articles you like, I'm not gonna start limiting them! Is that why people haven't been posting them? Don't be scared! Post away! .. Just, you know.. Don't do stuff like "Llamas are nice. I like Llamas. Where to order a perfect Llama." or "Hey! I like pizza! How to get a cheaper Pizza." or "What? You can't draw!? How to decide whether you should buy your game's art or make it yourself." or other similarly stupid ideas. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 01 Jun 2007, 12:25
power mousey	um....I didn't know there was a perfect Llama. and hey, for cheap pizza and good inexpensive chicken wings try Little Caesar. and about game art.....I buy el cheapo art or download royalty free art for use. But check the copyrights and terms of use first. yeah, Jay I know what you mean. And what you are trying to say. Comprende senor power mousey

Jayenkai	I like the idea of Mousey's article. It's not so much a tutorial, more of a "How I did XXX" type thing. I mean, unless you end up doing trivial ones like "How I decided to draw platdude using pixels!" then I'm sure we've all got a few interesting development articles to post. BUT.. If you could at least include a sample of the end result, it'd probably go down a little better! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

blanko1324	I'll do a write up on my 2D rotating bounding box collision detection, if I can ever perfect the method myself. Sorry to give you all homework. -=-=- My Twitter

Jayenkai	Well, June didn't go down all that well, with only a few new articles being posted, mostly within the first few days! No matter, let's have a better month next month. Any suggestions on what July can be? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
