Basic Tutorials need some love

Hi,
I'm just beginning to learn Orge .NET and Ogre in general, and I noticed that the conversions of the C++ tutorials for .NET are very quick-and-dirty. I believe they need quiet a lot of polish. Maybe I could help with that.

you are correct! creating polished tutorials was not my intention

from http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2addons/view ... c&start=15

My intent in porting the cpp tutorials is to help me learn Ogre and C# at the same time. I've taken a few cpp classes and written some small stuff in cpp, but It's not my favorite language. I program in C and Verilog for a living, so the information and code in the tutorial was what I learned along the way.

Hopefully it'll help somebody out there.

sure, what do you propose?

Well, I could do things like taking out the C++ specific stuff and, when noticing some special things about the .NET version, mention them there (since I'm new to Ogre and I'm therefore anyway planning to go through each of the tutorials thoroughly, that should be no problem).

Denis,

Originally the port of the code for the tutorials lived on the same web page as the cpp tutorial. But, The OGRE community didn't want us mucking up their wiki with C# and .NET related stuff so Rastaman created the ODN wiki. When we moved to the ODN wiki, the tutorials that had been ported (1-3?) were copied straight over and not really cleaned up.

I think that tutorial 4 and the intermediate tutorial 1 (and intermediate tutorial 2( since Im doing the write up for it today)) are much cleaner.

There's a link on the ODN wiki which was intended to describe some of the differences
http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Og ... ifferences
But I hadn't gotten around to writing up the stuff I know is different -
1. CPP Listenters vs C# Event Handling & Event Delegates
2. CPP iterators vs C# Enumerators and IEnumerator
3. etc

Anyway,
Please feel free to clean up the beginner tutorials, and lets both try to actually use the OgreDotNet Differences webpage so that the whole ODN community can benefit.

Cheers
DC

Can I clean up the tutorials in the wiki? or must i do it somehow else? I can't see any option to register an account.

the wiki uses the same login as the forums

I can't login to the wiki with my forum user name.

Yo can login usin in "create new account or login" the same user and passwor as the forum.

Denis:

You need to register in the Main Ogre Form. (That is the account that is used to login to the wiki.)
