Hello again,
As some of you may know (probably not), I'm a student studying Computer Science, and have been around here for waaaay to long. In my time, I've seen a lot of tutorials come by, but I don't know if people actually learn something from them.
The issue is that, when someone makes a slight typo in their tutorial's code, I always see replies like this:
Which seems to indicate they haven't learned a thing. If they had, they would've actively read the code, understand what's happening and they would've seen the error, or at least understand why they get the error.
Now I'm planning on writing a few tutorials, but I'm thinking of using pseudo-code instead of normal pre-chewed scripts.
So instead of, for example
It would look like this:
Of course I will take care that these pieces of pseudo-code are understandable.
So, what do you guys say about this? Do or don't?

pawn Code:
SetPlayerHealth(1337, 100);
SendClientMessage(1337, #000000, "Infinity is rockz");

Set ID 1337's health to 100, and send the player the message "Infinity is rockz". |
So, what do you guys say about this? Do or don't?
