Does Anybody Have "A Crash Couse In HuC" parts 3-7?

Lochlan · 06/26/2013, 08:36 PM

I started messing around with HuC and so far I have a sprite you can move around on the screen. (Aw yeah!) I'm trying to go deeper, and found out that these exist:

A Crash Course In HuC - Part 3 - Gone Loopy
A Crash Course In HuC - Part 4 - Playing With Yourself
A Crash Course In HuC - Part 5 - Animaniacs
A Crash Course In HuC - Part 6 - Of Bonks And Magic Scrolls
A Crash Course In HuC - Part 7 - The State Of The State

Unfortunately it looks like ObeyBrew is down, and these aren't on the Internet WayBack machine. Does anybody have a copy of these they could post here? I will keep moving forward regardless, but it would be easier if I had some tutorials to work from.

Thanks!

But of couse, I have not

I will locate the database backup and piece the site back together. I left it down for the time being because it seemed no one was really using it.

EDIT: I'm now in the process of putting the site back together. I have a rough doc of tutorial 3 up so far, and I had retained all of the relevant source code of the tutorials in their own folder so it'll be less work in that aspect. The revised site will be in straight HTML so there's nothing for the idiots to use their "l33t skr1ptz" on.

Thank you so much!!! I've read the third tutorial and am eagerly awaiting the rest.

How can I send a donation to help pay for your hosting costs?

OldRover · 06/27/2013, 06:29 AM

Oh, don't worry about that... this is on one of our shared servers. It was just compromised some time ago because the scripting wasn't updated and some chowderhead thought it'd be amusing to exploit the wiki's registration form to spam with. I'll try to add the rest of the tutorials today at some point.

Hey I second that motion! I still haven't forgotten about doing possible dos ports..

OldRover · 06/27/2013, 03:22 PM

I did up a new site design and am now in the process of converting the database to HTML files. It'll take some time, and I am focusing on those particular tutorials first, before any other portions of the site.

Loving the big Bonks!

Lochlan · 06/28/2013, 05:39 AM

These tutorials are awesome, they're definitely a big help! I'm really looking forward to finishing the series. Thanks again, Rover

OldRover · 06/28/2013, 03:09 PM

I'm part of the way through reconstruction tutorial 5. I should finish these up by tomorrow. They are taking longer than expected now because I also have to focus on the Lucretia project, as it will be on display at a convention in about a week.

OldRover · 06/29/2013, 01:01 AM

5 is done, halfway through 6.

I'll definitely be done very soon. I've also made a few improvements since the original writings.

Duo_R · 06/29/2013, 02:01 AM

I tried reading that but every few words there is a "800" is that being constructed?

OldRover · 06/29/2013, 02:33 AM

There is a disclaimer at the top of the unfinished ones that says the document is under construction.

The 800s in there are from the raw SQL dump from the original site, and I have not yet reassembled that document yet.

Duo_R · 06/29/2013, 10:17 AM

I saw that and that is why I posted. Wasn't sure if that was supposed to be like that...or perhaps "coders text" lol

I went ahead and finished up the first two to get them out of the way, since they're relatively short. I'll be spending today finishing the last one. Part 7 is *long* so it'll probably take me a few hours to get it all cleaned up, error-checked, and etc.

Duo_R · 06/29/2013, 03:48 PM

Thanks cool stuff

Duo_R · 06/29/2013, 03:50 PM

Quick question if I code something in HUc can I load the file on an Everdrive?

OldRover · 06/29/2013, 04:23 PM

You should be able to. If the header causes problems, you can always compile it "raw". We had talked about that at some point on the forum here.

OldRover · 06/29/2013, 06:55 PM

Tutorial 7 was finished, meaning all seven existing tutorials in the series are done now. I'll keep working on tutorial 8 soon, but not before the special Lucretia demo showing.

Lochlan · 07/24/2013, 05:13 AM

Tutorial 8: read all the pceas docs and start writing assembly?

Just wanted to thank you again for your help, Rover! I'm making a STG and realized I had to give up using HuC for some of the finer game mechanics like collision detection--but it would have been way harder to get this far without your HuC tutorials. The HuC documentation is really light and it made a big difference to my project that these tutorials existed, they definitely helped me a great deal.

Keep up the good work, and good luck with Lucretia--I'll definitely pre-order a copy or two once I start my new job!
