Ruby Script Video Tutorial - add Construction Points

Chris Fullmer

Ok, this is my first attempt at a real time, script writing tutorial. I might do another here shortly. I know some people are not fond of my videos, so I've done this to spite them And I've heard some people like the videos a lot, so those people are allowed to watch and listen.

But I warn you, this is Ruby scripting in real time. So its not super duper exciting, unless you like Ruby or want to learn to script.

It's only about 6 lines of code, so you can't get too confused I hope. Here are links to some of the methods I use in the video:

Model
Entities
add_cpoint

And as a note, rand(100) will never return the number 100. 99 is the highest it goes. But it can return 0.

All right, on to the video.

or download it here if you want to play it from your computer. (This is also handy if the movie is too tall for your Browser window): http://chrisfullmer.com/forums/ruby_cpoint.swf

Hope that helps. If it does, I might do more of these. I can show how to write a simple multiple pushpull script in about 10 lines of code next.

Thanks for a great Tutorial.

I've little to no experience with Ruby but found this very informative and eye opening. Amazing how easy it is to understand yet hard to grasp?

Now I appreciate even more the effort and talent that goes into creating the excellent scripts you guys produce

Thanks

Thanks for keeping encouraging us to try Ruby, Chris.

I like your video tutorials, actually, as I find text+images tutorials harder to follow. (I know, "people living in glass houses... )

Thanks for a great tutorial. Ruby is something that I would really like to learn. I would assume that it will require so much time that I will never start learning it. Anyway, this kind of tutorial really makes me think that maybe I should still think about it.
