Tutorials:Difficulty Rating

From Charas Project

This is meant to define the difficulty rating found in every tutorial.

'''*''' - Simple, signifying the easiest tutorials. You should be able to do these tutorials with little knowledge of the program. Example: Putting Faces in Messages '''**''' - Easy, which are more complex than the previous category, but still possible to do without a lot of prior knowledge. Example: Save Point Names '''***''' - Medium-Easy, which are concepts that you'll be needing a lot, but are slightly difficult to learn without playing around with the program first. Example: Switches '''****''' - Medium, which are more advanced concepts that you'll still be needing a lot, but are more difficult to learn than the previous category. Example: Variables '''*****''' - Medium-Advanced, complex systems that require a decent knowledge of the program. Tutorials at and above this categoy tend to be very general, requiring a degree of personalization from the user themselves. Example: Multi-User Techniques in the Battle System '''******''' - Advanced, which are "lower" engine-creation tutorials. They create (a) new system(s) that act in place of a default system (battle or menu), but still use elements of the latter to run. Example: Map-based CMS '''*******''' - Expert. These tutorials create fully custom game engines, meaning that they can be used without any reliance on the default engines (battle or menu). Example: Custom Movement Systems '''-''' - This rating is given to tutorials without an inherent difficulty rating. Example: Structuring Game Plots
