Yes, if I don't do the first dozen things I've asked about and started but didn't finish, if I ask about anything else today or tomorrow or next month - don't answer me because I'm a fruit cake that is a waste of your time. Until I have an acceptable answer for each question - ignore me.

If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
Re: If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
I don't think anyone is going to ignore your questions. If you have a question that does not have an answer on this forum on in documentation then it is a question someone else might have in the future so it benefits everybody to help you find a solution.
If you feel like you don't have focus, then I would suggest something like a simple project you can complete in 1 or 2 days. My first real project with irrlicht was a game jam. Here is my very first post on the forum where I talk about it: viewtopic.php?p=306845#p306845
I was learning irrlicht while trying to build a game in 48 hours. I think having the stress of the deadline to finish something really helped me to focus on learning. If game dev is not your thing then there is all kinds of cool ideas you can finish in 48 hours or less.
Also, you don't need to learn everything at once ( that goes for irrlicht and C++ in general ). If you think you will need to know something later, then learn it later.

Re: If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
Thanks for the support. It's not easy to support someone.
The way to make bigger things can only be done in small stages, but I'm not good at breaking project specifics down nor sticking to a deadline. I simply haven't learnt that yet or found why it's useful.
I did step away from the forum to learn about Openstack. I signed up for a free Red Hat beginner course and I'm waiting to hear back from my web host about SSH problems. The big idea was run a game on a server and display a feed on a website. It's an old childhood dream really.
So I must break the Game-Website-Network down into tiny, manageable chucks. I did have two games on itch.io but I'll spare you those

Re: If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
I finished the book I wrote for your page, it's about c++98, I wrote it in libreoffice writer(similar to word), it's about "Basic/intermediate fundamentals for building a turn based RPG in c++98 without using external libraries"(i can export to html5 file...), it covers basic topics like variables, to more advanced topics like patterns for an npc to know how to identify contexts... since it doesn't use any external library like iostream, it just runs in memory. It also teaches why it is necessary to use operating system API libraries, addressing basic kernel and hardware access issues using asm in c++98...
I need to make a last revision and add observations about infinite loops. I also need to translate it to english, I wrote it in my native spanish language. It took me two days to do it... while they were revising the finance program that I almost finished recently (I lacked to correct the adaptation of a combobox)... And I spent a few days finishing some models that I plan to upload to irrlicht(It takes a long time to make good models, and I am quite a perfectionist), although I still haven't decided whether to upload them animated from the beginning, or without animating but with a base skeleton and then upload them animated.
Oh... I already wrote a lot and I didn't even consider what you wrote (I mean yes but I don't know how to answer to that??)
If you want I can upload it like this in Spanish, but I still need to confirm that all the code compiles (I tried some examples and they compiled, but I just wrote it like this).

Re: If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
well... I haven't completely checked the translation yet, I translated it automatically with deepl.com and then I spent several hours correcting to make it compilable and some definitions in the explanations... but I didn't check all the explanations, but I checked all the codes to make it at least compilable... I might have forgotten to translate something well...:

Re: If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
English is a good language, American-English is. I'm lucky to be born British. The Finnish version would be the more natural choice? I know an Openstack certificate site was aimed only for Portuguese and Spanish(?) I can't read any other language so I'm having to wait for an English speaker to bring new stuff over. Some Dutch people (for an example) are good programmers. Je suis un stylo! Ich liber dich!
Re: If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
Everything I consume on the Internet is in English... for years... so, as I would tell my mother "on the Internet all my friends speak English"wizard4 wrote: Sun Feb 16, 2025 12:11 pm English is a good language, American-English is.

I can understand almost everything what is in English, like c++ books, and I still translate things into my native language, because when you translate things you become more thorough with the analysis of the content, let's say you absorb the knowledge better.
I literally understand people's videos in English years ago so... it's literally what I consume on a daily basis.

Re: If I don't tick these tasks off, ignore me
Judging by what I'm doing lately, my website is getting very little attention. I guess when I have something I'll put it on there. For about a week I've been learn Openstack and today managed to get a file sent over to it. It'll eventually mean an Irrlicht game running on the cloud and accessible to the public
