Since the book is for beginners, I have to be above beginner level, and my experience and Diploma do help. Anyway, I need to know a lot, so I read a lot, asked a lot, and experimented a lot. Luckily I've been in the demoscene for quite some time and have been programming for even longer time (GWBasic -> Turbo Pascal -> Turbo C++) as a hobby. I'll be writing the basic, GUI and simple games. It's like you can make a really cool tune, but you won't be writing musical notation. It's like you grew up on trackers, you know the tune, the effect and what not - but you don't even know what is a bar, clef, allegro, retard etc. Sometimes, you will know one side (the one you like and know everything about) but not the other (the one you don't like and don't bother to read up on it). It's not that you don't know how it works, but how to explain it sensibly. Suddenly, you will realize that you don't know a lot about something. Pick a topic, see if it sells, and write a 300+ pages book. I also read somewhere that 'you know nothing about something until you write about it'. ![]() I plan to create a start-up game development and machinima house. And that is, to create demos.īy doing this, I'm getting a lot of experience in programming, algorithms, math, graphics and sound. But I will be starting this year, I'm going to learn something - and make my dreams come true. I found 'Fable', it sounded cool, mixed well with Fox, and the meaning itself was great. So there I was flipping through the dictionary, looking for a cool word starting with the letter 'F'. By the time I had it, someone else had bought. So I worked harder to get extra money for the. So I was thinking about a brand new name. There was another reason - the word 'Maniac' can't be used as a company name either. I was doing odd jobs just to have some food on the table, and was too tired to do anything else. com, then someone else grabbed the domain. I was known as Maniac Wolf before, until I had no money to pay for the. Thank god Pure Basic doesn't limit you, and it's FAST! (FASM anyone -P) ![]() NOTE 3: Polaris stated that he doesn't want to teach demo coding using Dark Basic because it's limiting and too slow. So how did I start to learn? Studying Polaris' tutorial of course Let's just say that only now I have had the time to code my own demos. Although I've been involved since the days of Future Crew. NOTE 2: No, I'm not a experienced demo coder. Since Polaris already explained the effects, I just tell how it works inside Pure Basic - that's it. So read it for a more in depth explanation. NOTE 1: This is a translation from Polaris of Northern Dragon's DevC++ demo coding tutorial from Hugi 31.
