Scripting Tutorial #1: An Introduction to Ruby and RGSS

[Falcon]

You all can go fuck yourselves, I'm not going to put up with this crap of stealing people's work.

[keyblade_bearer]

Snineyful, there are a few terms you left out, (false, true, alias) but that's why you'll cover then next, right?

Also, I think making us do ssomething after a lessen would help too. Like moving your menu around. etc.

[Falcon]

Obviously someone skipped the authors notes.

[keyblade_bearer]

Lol, how'd you know?

I see, ok then. Understood.

I never said it was great did I, lol. So, yeah, I like it.

[AiR]

It looks wonderful and is very easy for laymen, such as myself, to understand.

VERY nice start Dark! I understood everything.

The format is very nice. It is very easy to understand and teaches some of the basic ideas in a very approachable manner. Good job!

[Zeriab]

Good work Darklord!
I like the style of your tutorial.

There is something wrong with your operators for conditional statements:

== Equal
!= Not Equal
<= Less than
>= Greater than

It should be:

== Equal
!= Not Equal
< Less than
> Greater than
<= Less than or equal to
>= Greater than or equal to

Good job again

[Falcon]

Thanks a lot for the correction Zeriab

[Zeriab]

Np mate.
I will let ya know if I discover anything else. Also just ask if you need any help.

This is great, but what the hell is "def" used for? I'm being such a retard, am I not?

Great job, its really simple and easy to understand compared with some other tuts out there.

def tells that a method is beeing defined.

Example:

def display

Defines a method called display, to call that method, simply use "display" (no quotes).

Rep++, good work. I get the itches to work on my scripting tute again.

[Falcon]

Just wanted to say I've started the next tutorial (Window Creation/Editing) and it should be finished by Sunday, if not earlier.

[Snailer]

OMG FUCK U PWN IMA READ THIS THANKS

For those familiar with PHP programming, "def" is the same as "function". You define a function (method) you yourself have created.
If this is like PHP, you shouldn't need the "def" after you have defined the method. To use the method again, just type method(), assuming that "method" is the name you defined for it.
For example,

Code Select Expand

def stats(a, b)
Script here
end

I want to use stats() again in another part of the script. So I will just type:

stats(a, b) within the script, right? Please correct me if I am wrong. This is the first time I read RGSS.

If I am wrong, then I assume that "def" has a broader use. If so, please let me know. ^^;



I guess this is easier to understand when you're familiar with other languages... <3 I am happy. Thanks for the tut! ^^

Good job again

Also, I'd like to note that if you place a "!" in front of anything, it returns the opposite of the value.

"!" in RUBY means "not".

Code Select Expand

def stats(a, b)
Script here
end

I want to use stats() again in another part of the script. So I will just type:

stats(a, b) within the script, right? Please correct me if I am wrong. This is the first time I read RGSS.

Correct, although a and b would be variables which would be plugged in to the method.

Also, note that the method would only use "stats(avalue, bvalue)" in the class, in another class you would need to use something like $classname.stats(avalue, bvalue)

[Arwym]

I see! Now I get it much better. ^^

Thank you very much! It is really appreciated.

[Zeriab]

To compliment what Tsu said, some functionality with booleans:

Code Select Expand

p true && true, true && false, false && true, false && false
p true & true, true & false, false & true, false & false
p true || true, true || false, false || true, false || false
p true | true, true | false, false | true, false | false
p true ^ true, true ^ false, false ^ true, false ^ false
p !true, !false

Then there is the whole deal with including the Comparable module.
I can understand if you don't want to put too much of this into the first tutorial.

Wow, didn't notice that I didn't post here. GOOD TUT! This is a good tutorial. Are you going to be making more?

Alrighty, thankyou for clearing that up (it took me sometime to thankyou ><") however I have given up. I lack in memory and commitment, I'd be better of story writing
