MonkeyX2 User guides

[therevills]

Pretty good start by Simon Armstrong:

http://wasted.nz/modules

That is some good stuff!

The user guide is not finished. When I click on the links at the ending sections of the document, I get nothing. There is no topic on using file stream.

Looks like it. Apparently, the Mojo3D section is still "Coming Soon"

mmm, I'm not sure I would point a beginner to simon's site. Lots of stuff is made to look complex for someone unless they already knew about it.
The 'Invoke' system make it look like simple methods and functions are not simple things to do.
My personal gripe is <i'm not going to tell you what I am> assignments of variables variable := something
Great is you 'know' what is going on, not so great to learn from, etc

Good effort from Simon.

And yeah, I wouldn't point a beginner to it!

This the first time for me seeing someone talking about Arrays before Variables and no mention of Conditional statements, Iterators and loops..etc

The official online docs are at http://monkeycoder.co.nz/monkey2-docs/
They are not complete, mojo3D isn't even mentioned.  There are docs for mojo3D with the latest release version of Monkey 1.1.07, but it is just a synopsis of the functions, pretty much already assuming you know how to use them.  Between the IDE docs, online docs, wasted.nz, and the Monkey 2 forums, you can figure out pretty much anything with Monkey 2, but definitely not beginner friendly.

I used this before, getting error is possible:
https://github.com/Pakz001/Monkey2examples

This exists too, I haven't tried:
https://github.com/Pakz001/Monkey2-3D

Also:
Mojo3D has samples in mojo3D module directory.

Yeah, I have been trying to put a lot of examples on the github. This way I can always come back into coding if I spend a long time away. Errors? I hope that it will get reported to the github error system since I would need to check a lot of code every update:)

I know the 3d is in heavy dev so there is non working code there.

I have been doing other things so have not been coding. I am trying to get into shape. Doing 5 hours of sports every 2 days now.  I am trying to do situps but it has already taken me 4 months and still can not do them properly.

[ms62]

Pakz, better than nothing.

Is it just for me or is wasted.nz down? All that main page stuff is gone?

I see it.

About Simon's userguide:

well written, readable (I would like a bigger font for aging people like me !, but I'm going with 'zooming' function in Chrome!)
I like the 'search' function.
I can't compare with Monkey2 documentation as I get (for the online version) the monkey-error...
A proper 'guide' is always a good thing!

Thanks!

ps: I really don't understand the 'organization' of the examples: some (for Monkey2) are in the folder 'bananas' (not so logic for a newcomer), while the ones for Mojo3d in the - logic - folder 'tests'! (well, different folders, phisycs, engine and loader...
