[Bsod-mentors] A heads up

[Mal]

Hi Rob,

I've completed most of the content for the "Introduction to the GE" 
tutorial.

http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD/Introduction_to_the_Game_Engine


As the tutorial is aimed at people who might be using Blender for the 
first time, and wanting to focus only on the GE features, it required 
quite a bit of balancing of practical "hands on" exercises, and not 
overloading the user with too much information.

I've also used a few animated GIFs within the tutorial to illustrate 
some more advanced interactions ( such as setting up the game logic 
blocks, which involves clicking in a few places, as well as dragging 
between connections ).

I've used a similar structure to teach Blender and the GE to work 
experience students, so hopefully it'll be of use to other students 
wanting to learn Blender in a fun way ( making simple games :)

If some of the mentors could look over it, I think it is more or less 
ready to be tweaked to conform to the agreed templates.  If you can give 
me some pointers, I'll focus on that part of it now.

I'm also planning on doing a Part 2 at some stage in the future, which 
will touch on some more advanced GE features ( and will assume that the 
user has some Blender editing skills, rather than having to allow for 
non-skilled Blender users ).

Regards...
Mal
