Well, as you can see by the title of this topic, I am going to start programming for Halo 2.

Honestly, I don't know coding in C#. I only learned a little bit of it. Because I haven't coded in C# for a while, I am probably loosing more knowledge then I am gaining.

But anyways, my program is called "Index" and I will need some help.

I have the UI done. It won't use any MDI Child windows like Entity or H2G, but instead use a single window.
This is what It will look like:

-The text "Form1" Will be removed and replaced.

I also took some dropdown boxes from Entity. This is just so people don't need to be mixing up different UI's

But again, I know nothing about Coding. I really don't even know how I will start. But maybe if you guys can help me out and maybe I can get a tag list going.

But seriously, I would like to learn how to code for Halo 2. Grimdoomer told me to learn by myself, but really, I don't even know where or how to start.

Thanks.

I didn't know where to start either, so I just picked up Entity's source and continued... lol

Did you have any experience coding? Like, I really don't have much. I am looking at a bunch of Halo 2 Application tutorials. The reason is so that I could understand how to do things and when I should use them.

Lots of DOS experience (Turbo Pascal) some VB and even less Delphi. c# is a very nice language and the Visual Studio IDE is very user friendly. All the windows commands is what takes time, but once you figure out what it's looking for it's much easier.

I can give you some help on stuff when you get stuck (if I know it lol). Try making some basic programs to learn or if you want to help update Entity, by all means, contact me...

Thanks! As you said, I should start with the basics. So I guess that I will make some simple apps. One thing that I can't seem to figure out is trying to make a form show.

I tried using:

Code: Select all

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form NewForm = Form2;
            NewForm.Show();
        }

Then I get an error saying "Form 2 is a type but is being used as a variable."

Code: Select all

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 MyNewFormOrWhatever = new Form2();
            MyNewFormOrWhatever.Show();
        }

Form is cooler than Form2.

I've been programming for a long time now and have even made Xbox 360 game modding tools. And I still don't know enough to start programming Halo apps. You have a a long way to go, but read books, keep practicing, and you will get better in no time.

My suggestion is read up on object oriented programming, and it will take you a while to really grasp it so be patient. You will understand how C# works a lot better once you do, because it is a language that is meant to be used for mostly object oriented programming.
