That was my real motivation for writing these, redSprite. There aren’t many tutorials – and no skillmaps that I know of – that use the other two languages. Yes, I plan for all of my future tutorials and skillmaps to use all three languages.

When someone is ready to make the switch to one of the typing languages, I feel like this skillmap would be a good way to get started, as it includes some more advanced techniques along with most of the basics … and it does so without treating you like a beginner. ( **Nota bene** : Use the hints when you get stuck!)

The Blocks path, too, is a good one to push your skills, as you learn about parallel arrays along with the two extensions that I mentioned earlier.

The only “basic” thing that I don’t touch in this skillmap is tilemaps, but that’s just because of the style of the game.

Have other ideas for tutorials and skillmaps? There’s a topic for that. 😉
