If you're running firefox, check out the adblock and noscript extensions. I only see the occasional ad slip through. And then, I right click and adblock a wildcard for the ad server that served the ad. Of course, I allow ads displayed on PerlMonks to support the folks that support PerlMonks. Cheers, Casey	[reply]

Kudos to the Firefox team and supporting cast of plugin developers. As is regularly the case, I didn't see one ad on that site. bassplayer	[reply]

Hi zentara, sorry I didn't mention the flash ads. I am not a fan of Flash in general, though I have been known to make the odd exception :) Martin	[reply]

It's worth checking out, but you have to endure alot of flash ads. hmm... there's something there about pots, kettles and black.... but I just can't quite make the connection {grin}	[reply]

Well to defend myself......:-).... you don't see my flash japh unless you click on it. The tutorial could have little picture links, which you click on to see the flash...that would be equivalent( and less intrusive). However, each page inundates you with overbearing, motion filled flash, which does distract you from the tutorial. But if that is the price we are going to have to pay, to get free tutorials, I guess it's a small one. No doubt, someone in Eastern Europe will consolidate the 20 pages into 1 page, without the clutter, and make it available. The day may very well come, where you see short answers to the node questions, with a link to a private page with the full answer....and on that page will be advertising flash. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]

I think the ads are a small price to pay to get a detailed tutorial like this one. Granted, it would be nice to see things like this in an easily copiable/downloadable format,but for sites that don't get some kind of charitable/corporate funding I don't mind looking at some ads as long as they're not popups. It is surprising to me that there isn't more open source game development. Maybe one day after I have learned a lot more, I'll take a crack at it... Scott	[reply]
