Mr. Wallet's Blockland Scripting for Dummies

[Mr. Wallet]

For those of you who missed today's class:

• Don't bother installing gobby, I finally gave up on it.
• I decided that I'm going to record a recap of what we learned each night on the following day. Recaps are not substitutes for class, because I'm not going to spend a lot of time explaining stuff. I figure it's good to have a reference of what we've gone over though, and it's better than nothing if you miss a day.
• In that tentative curriculum, we went from start to about the end of functions I: variables. It was all super-basic knowledge that we skimmed through very quickly, so if you think you might know about what was covered, you almost certainly do.
• Mr. Wallet managed to lose cred by writing a two-line function missing a semicolon. Right after explaining semicolons. 

I'm still looking for a collaborative text editor, and I'm way less picky than before. One thing it absolutely needs is to let me ban people that are disruptive (no etherpad). I'm gonna look around on my own at various stuff I've heard of and figure out something, but if you've got an idea leave it here.

This looks Really good.
I cannot wait to see it :)
I'll be joining this tomorrow
at 8:00PM (GMT -8)

[Mr. Wallet]

So, I looked at a lot of stuff like etherpad, google docs, even dropbox, and I think the best I can do is moonedit (which it turns out CAN support multiple docs, though it's a little clunky with how it does so). Sadly, moonedit isn't on Mac, so this is gonna totally shaft Mac users.  I am super duper disappointed about this but I don't know what else to do, as even moonedit is kind of insufficient as far as what I'm looking for. In addition to people living in the UK (the show being at 4AM there) I now also apologize to mac users for giving you the shaft here.

So yeah, install moonedit.

You look way different than i imagined.

Even though I didn't learn a lot the lesson last night was actually really helpful. I've known some basics about scripting but the whole way you format things and such was confusing.

Oh, and if you're wondering why you didn't see me in the lesson yesterday but I'm talking about it its because I am over Devildogelite's house the next couple of days.

If mac users cannot use moon edit, I am willing to email them the files and such and take their files and post them for them.

[Spiderpig]

Oh I found another way that you can recap to people besides your video, just type it in a word document or something, saying what we learned and waht the codes were

[Azimuth]

why wont it runnnn

i have to run the windows under wine instead of the native linux :(

You should teach basic syntax and operational symbols, like what "%" and "&&" mean. All of that stuff. You prolly did, but it would allow people to understand scripts more.

He did teach variables and I learned alot about them. They do become very helpful.

[Azimuth]

I'm just gonnan watch.

Wallet, you may want to host something like you did yesterday where we tried out everything. Testing moonedit may be a great idea to see if it will work.

[Mr. Wallet]

I'm going to host reference materials in moonedit. Anyone who wants to help out MacOS users by saving that stuff and sending it off to them is awesome.

I'm gonna re-record the informational video as well as record a quick recap of what we covered, but first I gotta eat and I have a doctor's appointment.

Also: I'm going to be more strict about ustream chat moving forward. Every time I check the chat, I can't teach you guys until I've read it all. If there's 2 relevant questions, that's not a problem. If there's 2 relevant questions buried in 10 answers to those questions and 20 idle comments, it starts being a problem.

[devildogelite]

Yeah, it was getting annoying especially with what hydralisk was saying, I don't know why people can't follow simple instructions.

[Azimuth]

I'll host a post-lesson gobby server with all the material you had for the Mac users if anyone would like that.
