English Rocket Commander Tutorials are finally up on Coding4Fun

by Benjamin Nitschke 19. April 2006 20:13
Good news: The english version of the Rocket Commander Tutorial Videos are now avialable at http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/gamedevelopment/rocketcmd/default.aspx
Check them out in case you couldn't understand the german ones yet ^^

There are 10 Video Tutorials and a lot of links and help avialable for anyone interessted in game programming. This are the 10 Tutorials, each video is 40 minutes and there are plenty of links and information in the tutorials.

  • Tutorial #1. How do I setup Visual Studio for our project?
  • Tutorial #2. Design and Concept
  • Tutorial #3. Helper classes
  • Tutorial #4. Graphic classes
  • Tutorial #5. Music and Sound
  • Tutorial #6. Shader Introduction (TangentVertex class and FxComposer)
  • Tutorial #7. Shaders (Parallax, Instancing)
  • Tutorial #8. Post Screen Shaders
  • Tutorial #9. Input and Interface
  • Tutorial #10. Game logic and the Flower Commander Mod

Another good news is coming from microsoft, who decided to make all Visual Studio Express editions 100% free (prior to this they were only free to download until October 2006). In just 5 months over 5 million copies of Visual Studio Express were already downloaded, thats really a lot for just a developer tool!

Last but not least there is also some cool stuff coming up tomorrow: 2 new Mods for the Rocket Commander and more cool stuff on www.RocketCommander.com.

Btw: I just got an email about the error with the Tutorial 06, it aborts at 09:60 (normally its 40 minutes long). This will be fixed as soon as possible, I informed the Coding4Fun guys already.

As long as the Coding4Fun Video 06 is not working you can use this alternative download (just a flash file, its the beta version of the tutorial, but the content is the same).
www.rocketcommander.com/Tutorial06/Tutorial06.html (Flash Video is 40MB).
This link will be removed as soon as the Coding4Fun Site works again, which is this link:
download.microsoft.com/.../Tutorial06.wmv

Use this link instead of the .html one above, if it doesn't work:
www.rocketcommander.com/Tutorial06/Tutorial06.swf
Again, hopefully the Coding4Fun site will be fixed soon, then you won't need this link anymore.

It really really works ^^ Maybe it was a cache or server issue. But it was fixed and I checked it.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.
