Hi guys,

I'm trying out a new style of video tutorial. The idea is to make them shorter, and reduce the amount of time users spend "watching me type" so you can get the information faster. Please let me know what you think!



These new tutorials are now being produced in full HD resolution.

You should name it "Keybord typing FX Function", as a Typewriter needs to have the *BING* *Woorrrrrrsh* sound at each new line

I know, because I use to fix typewriters back in the 90's haha

It's a nice demo of timer based functions that does not halt the loop though.

I like the new style. I hate watching people type code (including me!)

You're quite right Impetus73 so I've updated the source code the accommodate those changes. I've found a typewriter in my backroom, re-recorded the sounds, updated the example graphics, and I've added new code that tests for newlines then plays the bing woooosh sounds.

HA! Yes, sorry about that. But sometimes I get an overwhelming urge to torture my listeners.
