[ProdigyX]

It came to my attention that some Clickteam users & guests were unable to view the various tutorial updates listed on the Xable Enterprises blog located on the forum. So I thought the information would be more accessible in a forum. As such, this thread shall list various updates to the Xable Enterprise tutorials with this specific post serving as an updated list of all the tutorials.

Throughout your various games, you may lock some levels and force the player to unlock these levels via gameplay. Due to lack of a better term, I'll call this a "level selection" mechanic. Basically,some subset of levels are initially locked with a handful initially accessible to the player. As the player progresses through the game, various levels are unlocked in response to certain game achievements. This tutorial will introduce the required fundamentals to execute this mechanic and explain how to easily implement these fundamentals.

Additional Comments:

• Though this mechanic is used in the context of forced level selection, where some levels must be completed before others, this mechanic can be used in other forms and contexts.

Compatibility:

• MMF2
• Clickteam Fusion

Requirements

• ForEach extension

Includes

• Commented example file
• On-site concept explanation

All programming languages have different types of variables, such as CHARs, INTs, and STRINGs. MMFusion provides access and manipulation to three basic variable types; Bits (called flags), Strings, and Integers. This tutorial explains these types and noteworthy properties of each type. You will also explore the definition and usage of Global Variables, various restrictions placed on all MMFusion variables, and when you may access variables.

Compatibility:

• TGF2
• MMF2
• Clickteam Fusion

Requirements:

• None

Includes:

• Tutorial PDF
• On-site Guide

In programming, a random pool is analogous to pulling marbles from a bag. Every grab reduces the remaining marbles by 1, until no marbles are left in the bag. This same concept is applied within MMFusion in the form of groups. This tutorial guides you how implement a completely custom cross-platform random pool mechanic in MMFusion.

Compatibility:

• TGF2
• MMF2
• Clickteam Fusion

Requirements:

• None
  

Includes:

• MFA Example File
• On-site Guide

Includes:

• New MFA Example File
• New PDF Tutorial
• Revised On-site tutorial

Compatibility:

• TGF2
• MMF2
• Clickteam Fusion

The object scoping/selection introductory tutorial has received an on-site tutorial. This should help alleviate some problems with object selection and point some users in the general right direction to better implement their games!

As always, if you found any tutorial useful, be sure to rate the tutorial on its respective page!

I had this guide in the works for a long time, but I kept revising so much that I never released it. That changes today! The tutorial is now available to everyone. This guides provides some insight into (what I think are) good practices for software development in MMFusion. The guide translates a few beneficial techniques from mainstream computer science/software engineering to MMFusion. Enjoy!

A new tutorial, An Introduction to Qualifiers in MMFusion, is available for everyone. This tutorial gives an introduction into the purpose, usage, and limitations of qualifiers in MMFusion.

Qualifiers are an invaluable tool in MMFusion. Qualifiers allow you to abstract objects in MMFusion. In others words, you can refer to set of similar yet different objects with one object. This tutorial gives an introduction into the purpose, usage, and limitations of qualifiers in MMFusion.

As always, if you find any tutorial helpful, be sure to rate the tutorial at the bottom of the tutorial's page. Enjoy!

At the request of Emerson3, we have a new tutorial about lists and the List Object.

MMFusion provides all sorts of tools for data storage. Previously, we've already partially discussed arrays and INIs in the Basics of Saving Data in Multimedia Fusion and Clickteam Fusion tutorial. This covers another data storage extension; the List Object. This tutorial covers the concept, purposes, basic capabilities, and example uses of the List Object.

Though the onsite tutorial is complete, more resources will be coming to this tutorial. I intend to provide numerous MFA files showing example uses of the list object. I also intend to provide a relatively comprehensive reference document, similar to the one for the Expression Editor, for this list object. These should be completed by September 1st so check the page or check this forum for an update when the time comes.

If you have any suggestions for tutorials, send me a PM on the forum or use the website's "Contact Us" form. Finally, remember to rate any tutorials you read! Enjoy!
