Any "app making" tutorials around?

[Robin]

I found a hell of tutorials for this great software, via the Clickteam website, via YouTube and I also bought two books and I can really give it a go with that. The only problem is: Only for the creation of games. Which is really great, but I want to learn all the details about creating android and windows apps. I really have just minimal clues how to use some of the extensions. I could spam the Clickteam community with my questians, or work myself from thread to thread, but I wonder if there are some quality "app making" tutorials out there. Let me know!

Salut!

Your best bet would be to download a few examples from the guides section. There may be some somewhere, I just havent found them yet lol. I cant wait till the ClickTeam Store opens up when ever that will be.

In my opinion - your greatest growth with Fusion 2.5 will happen when you stop distinguishing games from apps.
You need to think of all types of programs that can be created as being just SOFTWARE PROGRAMS - games, mobile apps, business apps, whatever - all are SOFTWARE PROGRAMS.

The reason I think this will help, is it will force you to think of your programs on a more primitive level.

Start small and work your way up from there.
Follow tutorials for creating small projects, or come up with some ideas for small projects on your own.

The principles you learn can then be transferred to any project you try to tackle in the future.
The only difference between apps and games is the fact that one is used for entertainment, whereas the other is used to accomplish a specific task.

I can promise you that all of the cheesy little game tutorials I've followed have severely helped me grow my knowledge of Fusion 2.5.
Some of the things may have seemed dumb/pointless/boring at the time, but have inevitably come in use at some point in my Fusion programs - no matter what the program is.

I would definitely suggest checking out the Castles of Britain MMF Example site that Nivram put together.
I would also suggest check out the Fusion 2.5 tutorial videos that Snail has uploaded to youtube.
Both of these resources (paired with my random questions uploaded to the forums) have been a SIGNIFICANT help in my attempt at mastering Fusion.

This is a good point. I was thinking that app development is another thing than game development, but you are right. I didn't see it totally from that perspective. I already checked out Nivrams page and snails tuts. I will keep it going with that, these are really good resources and I already learned a lot from this.
