Hi there! I'm Hblade, Welcome to the forums! We're glad to have you!

Game Editor can do So very much (Version 1.4), and even more when 1.5 is released. (No official date yet, though). Please take the time to watch all of these "How to make a game" tutorial I'm creating, and it'll show you just how powerful game editor really is! :)

Also, go to Here to get another grasp of just what game editor can do.

I will be making more tutorials along the way. So please be sure to keep up to date with them! :)



And yes, Game Editor can use save and loads :) In fact, it's what I'm covering in Episode 3! :)

* means its a pointer. It can't store unlimited text. It means its creating a pointer to a value in memory.

char data type stores a single character.

in order to store a string of characters you would use

char string[10] = "MyString" //This string holds 10 characters but is storing only 8.

I am not absolutely positive if the /0 (NULL character) is added automatically, but it is placed at the end of a string as a terminator.

so

char var = "a" //This can only hold a single character.

Thank you so much for info :) I never really took the time to study it but it probably would have been a good idea.

Yeah. You really should, especially if you are going to try to teach others. Because everyone who watches your videos would expect that you know what you are doing and that everything you say is correct. I really like that you want to help others is really cool, the first tutorial was pretty good but I think you should redo it, try to explain everything better, and improve your "sound" quality ;)

If you can, try to have a script on hand that you can read from or have memorized, this would improve it greatly. If there is anything you don't quite understand, there are tons of references online, just google search it.

A good idea would be to reference this: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A_Little_C_Primer

Yeah your right. Heh, my first tutorials were butchered.

I just gave a bunch of wiki links in the description.
