Tut. for RGSS

[Eldur]

Well yeah, I want to request a RGSS tutorial
for creating a battle system. Something to start
on or anything.

I have just started some days ago to learn RGSS
and I really want to script a battlesystem by myself
later, so what should I start to learn first ?

There is no real 'hard and fast' tutorial for RGSS. Not here anyway. A lot of us learned by messing around with existing scripts. I personally started by screwing around with those 'WINDOW_whatever' classes just so I can see what effect I generate with the menus.

So the first step I recommend is babysteps in the pond. Get your feet wet but take your time. Play around.

As far as a battlesystem... VERY tricky. *Shrugs* However, you may have a talent for those. Each to his own talents in scripting.

It's not wise to jump to making battlesystem when starting to learn Ruby/RGSS.
It's better to look into Scene_# and Window_# and change it around, see what you can do, learn the syntaxes (def, if, else, end, do, begin, while, until, etc) and create your own scene with some windows, that what I did ;o

Thanks for the replies~

Well, I didn't say I want to start
creating a battlesystem NOW! =P
I said sometime later when I got
the knowledge. ^^
Hmmm... gonna see what I can do.

Btw. Is there a summary of all these
syntaxes? With explanation etc. I can't
know what each of these means by just
looking at the scripts =s
Another problem is just I have no clue
what I should start on.

The name RGSS translates to Ruby Game Scripting System. So it is basically a stripped down version of RUBY:

http://ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/

I did a little searching. Some 'statements' in Ruby work fine with RGSS... just that they didn't use them in the default scripts. So you may find a statement here and there in that site that works just fine with your scripts.

Whoa thanks!
That looks like a lot time I will
have to spend on learning all
this! =]
