UO-Related Tutorials / Beginner tutorials anywhere?
« on: November 26, 2009, 02:02:09 PM »
I've noticed a number of tutorials on this board as well as on a few other sites, but it seems like the tutorials jump right into the meat of scripting. I'd like to be able to create scripts that aren't currently on the site (from what I can see), plus, it's always nice to be able to do things for yourself --teach a man to fish....
With that said, I've taken a basic computer programming class (it was Turing ) so if I dust off my mental storage unit I'm sure I can recall a bit about the fundamentals. Which programming language is most similar to the one EasyUO uses? Secondly, if I wanted to find tutorials that start with small programs, get users accustomed to basic variable/functions a couple at a time and then expand with subsequent lessons, does that exist anywhere? I guess I'm thinking that if it doesn't exist for this UO specific purpose, I can look up the comparable language for additional help.
I've gone through a few of the tutorials on this site and read the Wiki (?) overview on EasyUO programming but found that was too much to chew all at once. Maybe baby steps would be better for me. Any advice? (besides a new hobby -hah!). My backup plan is to dissect a script from these boards and figure out what everything does by breaking it.
Thanks
