Just curious. I love writing tutorials, and I'm going to have time while I'm on the plane tomorrow... so, in the next DAY, tell me what tutorial would make you start developing.

GO.

Well.. I already develop.. but a comprehensive one on all "life" in the game.. plants, animals and their relationship to one another (and creatures) in an ecosystem. :P (That is, in CAOS terms.)

I'd like a more complicated critter, something that flies or swims.

The thing is, it's exactly the same as, say, the Girana from my land-critter, except that the movement script includes a y coordinate. :) I can write a "part 2" to the tutorial on writing movement scripts if that'd be helpful?

ylukyun, I'm not sure what you mean... planning an ecosystem requires no knowledge of CAOS. The only actual CAOS involved is one critter eating another, which is done by finding it and them killing it. Same with plants. There's nothing that actually requires a tutorial?

Well, I meant the code for that, as well as their other functions.

There's already a hunting tutorial available on Ghosthande's website. Using that, you should be able to simulate it easily. :)

There's no trick or complexity to making an ecosystem, no special CAOS commands, no nothing. It's just planning and hunting scripts. That's it. :)

A part two with some more complex functions would be good, stuff like flying, swimming. :)

There is? :o

What do you know, there is! Link
I... actually forgot I wrote that one. <.<;

Flying and swimming are the same thing, and really aren't complex. It's literally just the same thing as exists, except you add y velocity into the routine :D I'll write a post on that soonish--it doesn't really require a tutorial. :)
