GTT : Formulating a Style Blog
16th October 2024
I do like it when things tend to cluster together in a certain way.

I'm currently trying to decide how best to do the "Actual Tutorial" bit of the Typing Tutor, and am currently thinking about some sort of stylised version of Greenie that I might be able to vaguely animate in some way.
The idea being that he'll act sort of like Clippy, so that when you're reading mountains of text about where the Home Keys are, for example, he'll be there at the side giving you odd glances, and showing you where to land all your fingers.

The idea is to create a kind of a scripting engine where I can tell Greenie "Be cheery, damnit!" and he'll hopefully smile or nod or something.

Anyhoo, since that seems like it might work out, I've decided to see how far I can take it. I might be able to reuse any such scripting engine to create a few JSE tutorials.
Will those be in the browser, or will they be YouTube'y? I'm not sure, but if I can get a decent scripting engine working, then I oughta be able to do quite a fair bit with it.
Woot!

..and other things that need tutorials, like most of the PixelCubes tools!

... But, me and design. Oh dear.
I need to get a handle on what that style might be.
Wish me luck!
