I've been working creating detailed tutorials for common questions and problems, that I see in these fourms. So far I've created only two tutorials, which basically go together. They are "Saving Game Data", and "Loading Game Data". I'm working on more tutorials, but I want to see what you guys think of the ones I've already created before moving on to the next tutorials. Here's the link:

Let me know what you guys think, if I mispelled something, something is confussing, or whatever. Thanks

Should be misspelled

Quote: "confussing"

Should be confusing.


As for your tutorials, they look good. The biggest trouble I have with them is the red text on the blue background. It's hard on the eyes. Content looks good, though.

Didn't read it all, but looks very detailed.

One thing...people who want to learn don't need bubbles and rain distracting them. It's a subconscious thing, but it's a brick wall to taking in knowledge!

Yea, scrap the bubbles. Generally, any "visual" effect that is created with Javascript for the benefit of making the site "fun and flashy" is a no-no in web design. Javascript should only be used for behind-the-scenes or forms work. Other than that, looks great

@hyrichter - ya, I commonly make dumb mistakes , that was pretty funny though .

@BatVink and Leys - as for the blue background, I don't think I can really change that because thats the template for my whole site, but I'm going to turn the rain and bubbles off.

Thanks for your comments guys, I'll get start on the next tutorials, Music Commands, and a Simple Music Player.

I got rid of the bubbles and rain effects on the tutorial pages and also added A LOT more stuff to the site. I've added polls, so you can rate the tutorials overall, also I've added a chatroom where you can chat with other guests, come check it out.

By the way I'm in the chatroom right now...

EDIT: In order to go in the chatroom you need to install Java, just go to my site and then chatroom and then just follow the instructions. I know installing something kinda sucks, but I have to live with it .
