AVS Programming Guide

17K ViewsI have produced a programming guide for noobs, so that people will stop bitching on the AVS forums that they dont have any help and cant work out how to code. This is a public beta and so I'm open to suggestions for improvements, but try to bear in mind that this is a begginers guide. Enjoy!

If only we had this back in the days of 1999...
Good job, although I agree with the comments about the triangle ape and the doc format (if you or anyone else wants a pdf version, note me).
It's very well structured and a good idea to have problems (and solutions.
Peace

Your guide covers a very wide area and is VERY well written (at least compared to what I'm used to reading), however I have to agree with tatva999, it could cover the DMs better. Also I didn't understand the bit about 3d superscope/dm sync at all, maybe an example would explain it better. Also covering AVSTrans might be a good idea
version 1 spruced up with some better stuff 
now all we have to do is encode in HTML / php / css etc etc., (no offense lil' limited with the triangle ape? )

nice guide for the most part
but you forgot to mention AVSTrans hehe
it's especially useful for the loop//megabuf crap
other things:
you wrote that skip>zero means point is skipped. that's not true. it must be non-zero. the same thing prolly goes for drawmode too, cant test it atm because im not at home.
X=2*i-1; Y=getosc(x*0.5+0.5,0.1,0); <-- eww, very sucky way to introduce 0..1 => -1..1 conversion ^^
you wrote that getkbmouse(5) is for the middle mouse button. it actually gives you the state of the shift key. (at least on my machine)
more coming soon, dont have time to completely read it atm
and please, make a PDF file of it. it looks so sucky in KWord

hey thanks i really enjoy reading avs tutorials even though it takes me some time to find the courage to actually work them out - maybe i'll come back with a more "Advanced Critique" comment
A simple guide to buffer saves would be good.
As soon as they put codable buffer saves in AVS I'll get right on it.
AVS "Programming" Guide... no more, no less

How about the triangle ape then? So far I think only 2 people know how to use it.
Yea I think that might be the next (and final) addition
