Reviews for GTFTN1 - Scanlines

[Bezman]

Short tutorial, but I got a benefit out of it.

Although you mention it in the comments and - for a couple of seconds - in the intro, I think you should list the required program(s) in the main menu, with the start button.

Even though I knew about defining patterns, I hadn't considered using them to do scanlines. Thanks for reminding me what a wonderful thing the pattern-defining function is.

The fades work well.

For the first screenshot, circling the important info would help. Maybe darken the irrelevant parts, with a mask letting us see the relevant parts at original brightness?

And more than one example of the technique's usage would be nice.

These might be more useful if you explained the techniques - here, for example, explaining how patterns work, so folk could try their own. Even an extra paragraph would have sufficed, pointing out that the defined pattern is tiled, maybe illustrated with a zoomed in example, with squares surrounding 'tiles'.

To stop music, use:
stopAllSounds();

thanks for the code and the review, some good points.

I'm working on a part 2 which will be a longer and technically better tutorial

glad this helped you though

Quite a good tutorial!

Well done on making a very useful tutorial :D

I like the design of the buttons, but the background itself was very dull, so try and make a more professional and sophisticated background to your next tutorial.

You could also add a design to the cursor, as it would look a lot better than using the everyday boring PC cursor.

I recommend adding music to this tutorial, and if you were to add music, don't forget to place a mute button on each page as well.

At the moment, the user cannot go back a step. Next time, add a 'previous' button.

If you are considering making a more complex tutorial, use videos to guide the user through each step, rather than just pictures and text.
