    Hi there. If you were planning on doing some tutorials about pyGame, you might want to take a look at our two sets of pyGame tutorials.

    The first by Chuck Arellano shows the user how to write an Arinoid clone in 4 parts (the 5th and final part is now in production). The second set by Florian Mayer shows the user how to get started with a window and basic animation over 3 parts:

    http://showmedo.com/videos/series?name=pythonMayerPyGameSeries

    If these are useful, feel free to link to them. We've talked before about your tutorials and ShowMeDo...we'd still very much welcome videos made by you, if you'd be interested.

    Regards,
    Ian.

    Ian,

    I hadn't seen the PyGame series over on your website, those two tutorial sets look great!

    I'd still love to do some videos for you guys, it's something that's always in the back of my mind, but lately I've been so busy I barely have any time to write any code after hours.

    If I get any spare time, I'll try to whip up a basic PyGTK tutorial.

    Keep up the great work, your site just keeps getting better and better.

    I love the showmedo website, but how do you think programming tutorials really deliver over video like that as compared to just the regular text+image webpage format.

    Because I'm thinking that being able to focus on something, whether a block of code or a descriptive paragraph is something people do quite often and video would make it more difficult.

    Thoughts?

    Hi mbastien,

    Personally I like a mixture of both, but I think that I prefer text based learning. The real problem that I have with video tutorials is that it is difficult to skim, or "pop" back to where you left off.

    Plus it can also be frustrating if the code used in the tutorial is not provided. I think we all enjoy copying and pasting now and again.

    mark.
