Introductions and Inquiries

[Magtheridon96]

My name is Magtheridon96, and I will be your main instructor!
By the end of this class, you will be shaped up into a proficient vJASS Coder.
You will be taught absolutely everything. We make almost no assumptions concerning
your knowledge and have almost no prerequisites. We are here to shape you up
into a thinker and a very good problem solver with exceptional vJASS knowledge.

Before we actually begin with material, let's introduce ourselves.

I will begin.
My screen name is Magtheridon96, but you knew that.
I'm a 16-year old boy living in Lebanon. I spend my time moderating this site
and working on a few personal projects in C++ (A game engine is one). I really enjoy
programming. It is like a hobby and a career to me.

Anyway, now that I've introduced myself briefly, I will begin by telling you how
this class is going to work.

Every week or so, I will give you material.
This material will be in the form of a map containing
lessons and practice problems. There will also be 1 project
per map. Projects start out easy and end up being quite challenging.

You are to complete the practice problems and the project, and I
will assess you as soon as I can.

Feel free to introduce yourself or ask questions below.
They will be answered as soon as possible.

(not personally from lebanon but grandparents are lebanese)

 

[gorillabull]

i live in las vegas and my hobby is programming too

 

[Almia]

Make sure to listen to Mohammad err Magtheridon96,because he will send awesome lessons

 

[ExecutorWar]

hey im ready! even though i didnt manage to enroll, i'll do my best doing the task without getting help.

 

[neo_sluf]

Ok.....i hate VJASS....because it makes my head to turn around....but because of this i want to learn it even if it is hard...but before you teach us may i ask....

IS THE WORLD EDITOR OF WARCRAFT IV CATACLYSM USES VJASS?......

WHAT IF THE WARCRAFT 3 TFT STOPS...AND WARCRAFT 4 CONTINUES...CAN WE STILL ABLE TO USE OUR VJASS KNOWLEDGE?...

 

[Chaosy]

If they release it even when they said they wont you wont be able to use vjass but jass will mosvt likly be used in a improved form

 

[TKF]

So only vJass? I'm only using the regular editor. But I didn't see this Jass class requires JNGP. My only issue is the hashtables I use i my map doesn't like JNGP

But I will try to follow. Since I can somewhat understand converted, vJass will wrap my head.

_____________

I'm a old guy from scandinavia, 27 year old. I won't tell more of myself than that atm.

I have from time to time been using wc3 editor a bit, but often taken breaks from wc3 editing. I've been only used to GUI all these years and when TFT came, editor was greatly improved and by then I decided to learn asoects of GUI. I learned from others people maps, mostly from maps like battle tanka, missile war, and callex maps. I hate the part of making a terrain from scratch, I had maps which I have created from scratch which was rpgs, but I no longer have them.

I know of nothing else than using the editor, icons making and minor edits of models (attachments skin change etc...)

I have absolutely no idea.
vJASS will likely not be usable unless someone redoes JNGP.
You might be able to use JassHelper with a few workarounds to get your code to compile to JASS, but I don't even know if they're going to be using JASS in future patches.

Yeah, because unfortunately, a strictly-JASS class would only require one or two lessons :V

Don't worry though, the first lesson has absolutely nothing to do with vJASS.

 

[Legendary]

What? we will be graded? is it hard like physics? or trigonometry?

 

[Magtheridon96]

It's made to be super easy.
It's like vJASS for dummies.

 

[Ralle]

Hello. My name is Rasmus, but everywhere on the Internet, I am known as Ralle. I am 23 years old and live in Denmark. I have been coding since I was about 15 years old. I did code a bit of JASS, but never that much and haven't tried vJASS. I am excited about this.

 

[SA Dashie]

Ahh ok.
I might as well join in on this just because.
Will be entertaining ^^ . I leaned trigonometry really easy.
Oh yes and I know plain blizzard jass really well.

 

[WerBackIII]

Hi, there, my name is Pete, 20 y.o., I live in Glasgow. I've studied software engineering at Uni, and though I dropped the course, I'm pretty much still interested in learning a thing or two.

Side question - I've never used/played SC2, but does the editor use anything like JASS?

Also, Magh, quite surprised to see you're only 16, your posts have left me with the impression that you're quite mature. Take this as a compliment, I mean it.

there will be no warcraft 4.

 

[ABM]

Hi my name is Alain and i am from France.
i love mapmaking, game mastering RPG, and i would love to program games so in order to use full potentiality of Jass and WE, i am happy to study VJass with everyone.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

I'm a Jass class observer of 13 years. Been screwing around with the editor for 3 years and taught myself almost everything it did, (Hive taught me the rest) except for, of course, Jass. I am currently working on a very unique campaign (details once I've finished half of it, right now I'm at about 23-26%) and could use some coding knowledge. My greatest strengths in map making are terraining, storyline, and good English, which is hard to find in a lot of maps.

 

[BloodDrunk]

there will be no warcraft 4.

I've read somewhere that thewre WILL be war4, they just need to make SC trilogy nd things... They re currently occupied with ''Mists of Pandaria''

 

[BloodDrunk]

Hello people, my name is Dorian. I am from Croatia, Karlovac. The first time I opened wc3 World editor, I ''fel in love'' with it xD. I like coding and proggraming very much, but it's a bit hrd to learn it all by myself. So I think this is my chance to learn something very cool

Cheers!

 

[Magtheridon96]

Side question - I've never used/played SC2, but does the editor use anything like JASS?

SC2 uses Galaxy, which is a pretty bad scripting language in the eyes of a lot of people

 

[Lordkoon]

Hello, my name is Panajot. I am 24 years old and have not the slightest idea of coding languages. I hope you make this class as easy but intriguing as you mentioned. I don't have a lot of free time (more like none) but will check back this section when possible.

 

[doomhammer99]

Hello All, My name is Radj Gymson, I live in Philippines and 15 years old. I've been coding for 4 months.Yea, My name looks kinda stupid, but it's cool to pronounce.

[Almia]

Okay as an observer i can also introduce myself.

My name is Alexis Munsayac.You know me as Radamantus.I have been coding for 9 months and has WE experience of 1 year.I am 15 years old and interested in any kind of Programming,from JASS to C++.

 

[Rui]

Just a question: where did the previous JASS Classroom forums go?

 

[Ralle]

They're hidden. I may go through them and make stuff visible.

 

[Justicebringer]

Im Peter from, Hungary.Im playing Blizzard games for a decade.....ye im a wower xD .I know the basics of the WE,but i dont have a clue about Jass.I'd like to learn from you,master!

Hello, fellow students!
My name is Ruslan, I'm currently living in Russia. I have a 3,5 years of Jass and 6 years of WE experience, hanging on with coding for ~8 years. Currently I'm 18 years old. I'm studying Economics and Management, I'm also managing a team named TGM that stands for Templars of Gaming and Modmaking. I am the member of the Crimson Creations team who develops The Kingdom of Kaliron map. I'm helping them as a Jass2/vJass coder. I enjoy this community and I've came here as a student to discover more about that warcraft 3 programming language.
Best wishes to all of you! <3

Programming Languages I Know: HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Delphi, Jass, ActionScript 2.0/3.0 etc.

 

[neo_sluf]

there will be no warcraft 4.

There is dude...and its already on the market..

 

[Arhowk]

There is dude...and its already on the market..

Lol...

i dare you to give me a link

 

[darkrider]

Hello everybody. My name is Martin, I'm 26 years old and I'm from Argentina. Have been doing GUI from 2007 to 2011 and tried some vJASS/Zinc but quit long ago (no longer in the map making industry, but JASS is a pending matter that needs a closure )

Will check here from time to time whenever I have time for it =D

 

[xD.Dunedain]

Hi people, my name is Matt, i'm 26 and from Australia. Have dabbled with world editor a number of times over the years. Don't know programming languages but have self taught myself some vJass. i know enough vJASS to work with simple snippets and systems but not enough to understand the advanced stuff like Nestharus's or Anachron's.

Let's get with this ...
Hello, my screen name is UndeadImmortal in HiveWorkshop and The_Optimizer in Garena. They mostly called me "Opti". Anyway, i'm 13 years old living in Philippines. I started modding in wc3 since when i was 9 years old.

 

[Doomlord]

Greetings. My username here in THW is Doomlord (or it can be shortened to Doom). I am 17 and my country is Vietnam.

I do know a thing or two about vanilla WE JASS but zero knowledge of vJASS. One of the reason for my learning vJASS is because I can use the "Tab" key for indentation. I consider it the greatest thing ever invented for JASS coding

Nice to meet you all.

 

[.KyTe]

How do i enter the jass class??

 

[Almia]

it already started,months ago.

 

[SA Dashie]

You just do the assignments here and submit them here at the 'Assignment Hand-in' sub-forum.
No need for a sign up or anything anymore, everyone's aloud to join in!

 

[Ralle]

You just have to read the News thread in this forum and start working You can hand in your assignments in the Hand-In forum.

 

[M93]

Hello everyone. My name is Marko, I'm from Serbia, and I am 19 years old. Only programming language i know anything about is C, and my knowledge is pretty basic. I dont have much time but I will try to learn at least basics of JASS.

 

[iamthedood]

Hello! I'm Chris 24years old and I'm from Greece currently living in the Netherlands.
I know some basic stuff in C, C++, pascal, java, python, but I always get as far as the basic stuff goes.

I think the teaching method by creating maps and stuff, will be a motivational factor to this whole learning thing.

 

[RupTure_QS]

Hallo, I am a high school student in Colorado, and I am in a club that works with Game Maker the application, and we spend our time in there treating the club like an actual game studio. I have spent some time with C++ and world editor jass but I am running off of Windows Vista, so I am unable to run vJASS, which I really would love to try it, but I can't . But I do enjoy programming very much so, and hope to get better at it, and the Jass Class will hopefully help me improve.

 

[SA Dashie]

I remember being able to run Jassnew Gen when I was using vista.

 

[RupTure_QS]

I can't get it to work for some reason lol
Edit: Nevermind I got it to work, had to a lot of stuff with microsoft security essentials

 

[ldragogode297]

I want to learn! Do I start from teh start or the newest week?
My name is Nathan! I'm also know as ldragogode297 but people can't pronounce it so they just call me Drago!
I'm also know elsewhere as SilverDragon, ArgentumDraco, and ViridusLupus!
I hope this will be helpful!

 

[Almia]

If you want,yes.
But I suggest to see them all because every lesson is important.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Start from week 1. You can't skip the basics

 

[yousif12345]
