Here is my full scripting tutorial, describing the creation of a simple game.

It will teach you how to manage characters movement, enemies, menu and HUD. (and in the same way : object spawning, simple ray usage, simple collisions...)

It only cover classic LUA scripting, as I think video are more suited to teach visual scripting...

It's a direct translation of my Tutorial from the French wiki, I hope my English is understandable, let me know if there is any part unclear !
There should be some french word remaining in the code, I will try to wipe them out as I clean everything up.

I hope it should be useful to someone !

Edit :
As Elisée said on twitter, proof-reading and typo edits are welcome : it's a wiki anyone can edit.

I used google translate to speed-up the translation process. I rewrites a lot of things but it should remain a lot of...

Hey everyone,

CraftStudio is awesome for game jams (I should know, we made several games with it for Ludum Dare and Chrono-making and it was loads of fun!). So starting in two hours, I’m running a free Premium week-end for CraftStudio to celebrate the Global Game Jam!

For more info, check out this blog post: http://sparklinlabs.com/2013/01/free-premium-week-end-ggj-13/

I'm opening a can of worms and trying out UserVoice to let you guys create / vote on suggestions for CraftStudio.

I have a fairly strong vision for CraftStudio and considering I've been spending most of my days working on and thinking about it for the last 15 months, don't expect to save the day by suggesting I add spheres, dynamic lighting, a physics engine or networked multiplayer .

What I'm really interested in is to find out who / how many people care about what to help me prioritize my efforts. So by all means, do submit previously suggested ideas / pain points you care about, but take the time to flesh them out a bit.


I can't guarantee this will work out but at the very least it'll be an interesting experience so... we'll see .

Hi you people!

XTender convinced me to finally take some time and reorganize the forums.

• Renamed a few boards to make everything more consistent:
  • News & Stuff -> News & Announcements
  • Code & Mechanics -> Scripting & Mechanics
  • CraftStudios Projects -> CraftStudio Projects
  • Movies & Animated -> CraftStudio Movies & Animations
  • CraftStudio France -> CraftStudio.fr French Forums
• New Help & Support category
  • Moved Help & Support to it and renamed it to General Help
  • Added 3 help forums for Modeling & Animating, Mapping & Scenes and Scripting
• Added the long requested Off-topic section.

I've created a Project where I distribute some small Scripts to share with everybody.
Currently there are only a few Scripts but I will add more and more Scripts after time.
Also if someone need a small Script he can request it here and I will try to deliver it

Some Scripts have Demo Scene, just open them under the "Scenes" Tab and then Start with CTRL + F5.

Join the "XTenders Suitcase" Project in the Community Projects pane.

Here's the current List of the Available Scripts:

Cameras
EgoCam

• Simple FirstPerson Cam
• Rotate via Mouse
• Right Mouse Button Locks/Unlocks Mouse
• Needs "mouseRight" control
• Demo -> Scene 1

FreeCam
