how do i go about getting leradwerks 2.0 instead of 3.2??

[metaldc4life]

I just think 2.0 would be better for me..

Thanks!

[AggrorJorn]

It is no longer for sale.

[metaldc4life]

well what is the difference between the two then?

 

leadwerks 2.0 and 3.0?

[cassius]

The asset pipeline is better on le3.2

navigation is better on le 3.2

 

.....and lots more.

so is c++ easier to learn than lua because i'm having a hard time learning lua..

No. C++ is harder.

 

I offer 1 on 1 training classes for Lua if you want a more personal learning environment. It's $10/hr. Feel free to send me a PM if you want to know more.

[metaldc4life]

well I just bought the c++ version on steam so I will give that a whirl first but I will keep that in mind (your tutorial lesson)

 

Thank You!

You can start learning right from your browser ( hit Escape key to test out examples )

 

Once you done and understood the examples hit the round red lua label to see the table of contents

oh ok I think i'm kinda getting the hang of it..

 

Thanks Guys!

Rick is correct about c++ being harder than lua but in the long run c++ is more usefull to know.

Le 3.1 uses a subset of c++ which makes things a lot easier.You don't need to learn the whole language before starting a game.Just learn the basics and then go by the command reference.

Judging by his comments so far I don't believe he can program at all, so learning lua first and getting to grip with concepts such as variables and control structures is properly a good idea.

 

Then once he feels comfortable with lua and the idea of programming, we show him c/c++ and tell him the horror story of the star that eats memory.

least i'm trying anyways..

There's been several people here who recently started with no knowledge and are now making some pretty good games. So I think it's definitely doable, and I am trying to make it as easy as possible to get people like you onboard. I hope you find it intuitive and easy to learn.

[metaldc4life]

Thank You Sir I Appreciate That! =)

I wasn't trying to be mean - I'm simply pointing out the easier path to learning. Everybody gotta start somewhere

[metaldc4life]

yeah your right thanks =)

 

would this be a good start on learning lua?

I don't recommend programming books. Start here:

oh ok thank you!

Agreed.

 

I tried books but it wasn't sinking in. I'm more the watch one, do one, teach one, school of learning.

 

Aggrors video tutorials are a must for those starting out.
