Where can I start Coldstone ??
or with what ?

------------------

Coldstone is (presently) a Mac only game engine. I runs on both OS 9.x and 10.x. If you own a PeeCee, then it won't work for you(sorry).

Oh and welcome to the boards (again?)

double click the "Coldstone" or "Coldstone (OS X)" icon and uh, work away? choose a tutorial, follow the pdf. check out other peoples tutorials, (url="http://"http://www.redknightentertainment.com/rkewerks/htmldavesworld/coldstonelinkspage.html")http://www.redknight...elinkspage.html(/url)

Read the UserManual, come back to the forum, search for credible tips(hint: try not to wake the dead), ask more(educated) questions.

... I'm like Imhotep but don't flaunt it.

I've had Coldstone for like a year and a half and I still don't know how to use it, although this is the farthest I've gotten in the tutorial. I should be proud.

I downloaded Coldstone, fiddled around with it for a few days, and more or less got the hang of it.

The user manual is limited and not 100% accurate. Most of what you learn will be guess and check and just plain fiddling. You'll also learn a lot from this board by asking questions or reading other people's questions/answers. Use the manual for reference.

Oh, and, um, let's not forget that in order to actually use Coldstone to actually build a game, you have to have absolutely no life whatsoever, meticulous to the point of, well, like your great-grandmother who made those circle rugs out of rags, the ability to take creative logic leaps over tall buildings in a single bound (in the fog), and have the patience of Job during an off-day.

Life is good.

I have all those things except the last one. Every project I start I can never finish because I get another idea! >_<

Trust me, you're definitely not the only one...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, and expect me to return the favor.

Amen! From when I purchased coldstone in november, I have come up with about 8 ideas, each compiling itself into my new work, The Fall of Abodon.

Whose cruel idea was it to put an 'S' in lisp?

Also, complimenting previous remarks, the user manual is extremely limited. It only gives you a semi vague idea about the functionality of coldstone. I just made some small, cheap games like tic-tac-toe, and messed around with a "Cosmic-Memory" similar game. Actually, you should try making several games, or you could play around with the tutorial. Plugin development can also be quite fun.
