Make your own Dizzy Game (Tutorial) v1.0 [DOWNLOADABLE]

Right, my 'Tutorial Game' is now finished, so here it is!

Make your own Dizzy Game (Tutorial)

Download the latest version (v1.0) from:

DizzyAGE website (v1.0)

Notes:

This Tutorial is based on the Dizzy 3.5 map, and starts from scratch, talking you through coding 10 puzzles, as well as dangers, coins, and coding the ending. Additionally, there are 3 optional parts, showing you how to change the HUD, coding an 'animated' intro screen, and how to implement waterplay - with an Aqualung and Bubbles.

I do assume that the user has some basic knowledge of the Map Editor, so watching the first 2 or 3 of my Video Tutorials first would help. Even just playing around with the Editor to get a feel for it would be better than nothing.

Hopefully people will find this tutorial easy to follow, and I hope that most people manage to work their way through it. I think they'll probably find that it's actually much easier to do than they imagine it will be, and hopefully it'll lead to more people making games! :smile:

Real men don’t read instructions

[/quote]

technically, the whole thing is one big giant set of instructions.

your logic therefore dictates that anyone who downloads it isn't a real man*.

So tell me meph, Did you download it?**

*this may be a relief to Quiggie

**before answering, bear in mind that I have access to website visit info which can be broken down by town :wink:

Not sure actually. The page went up on October 8th. Within the last month you visited on September 24th (3 pages, 27 seconds) and October 9th (4 pages, 1 minute exactly). Chances are good that the latter visit was to check out the Tutorial. Whether you actually downloaded it or not is another matter, as I don't have data on that.

I love Google Analytics

P.S. it also helps that you live in back-of-nowhereville :tongue:

I know! In fact, it's one of the first things it tells us! That's why I was rolling my eyes... How can you possibly get anywhere within the tutorial without first going through the bit that stops dizzy starting in the wrong place. I'm on your side here, Jamie :smile:

*phew that is a relief Delta cause i'm forever reading instructions! {yolkfolk}:bigwink:

Alex, I think if Jamie and you agree this should be included in it's own folder along with the Dizzyage download and a readme.txt pointing to it in the main folder. What do you guys think? Just an idea from an outsider... {dizzy}:biggrin:
