Guest Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 So I think one of the main reasons people don't like working in the source is because they're either afraid of messing around with things they don't understand or they simply don't understand what the specific parts of the code do. As such for my engine I'm working on extensive documentation detailing specific things like what modules contain what, coding standards, ways to optimise and of course visual basic tutorials.The first piece of documentation is Modules where I explain what each module does and the kind of users that should be messing around with these modules. You can get it here: [https://www.dropbox….kj3/modules.rtf](https://www.dropbox.com/s/fepunshjadfekj3/modules.rtf)The second piece is on Writing Good, Optimised Code. You can get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cwfzhbh20md5e2p/writing%20good%20code.rtfBasically I'm looking for feedback on clarity, size (is it too short, too long?) and any other improvements you might think are necessary.

Marsh Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Looks good, about time Eclipse had something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSKweek Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Personally I think we need a list of most (or all) of the functions with an explanation of the parameters and what it is used for. Just something to possibly add to your to-do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something to possibly add to your to-do list.It's on it. Just sort of at the bottom of it because I haven't finished all the functions yet (nowhere near!).

FlatlanD Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Very good job! That's useful for me and I think this is also useful for others who want to learn more about VB  Keep going! I'm waiting for your other works  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Next one is finished. This one is about writing good, optimised code along with some things to avoid and general tips:https://www.dropbox.com/s/l2ut7gagyzfwqkl/optimisation.rtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeffrit x Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Very nice, a whole vb6 help bundle in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yeah that's the idea. Like I said, people are really turned off from trying to work with Eclipse properly because no one really explains how to use VB and they're probably scared of messing something up.
