[RMVX ACE] CAN ANYBODY TEACH ME RUBY

CloseRGSS 3 is an altered version of ruby and a general ruby tutorial will not teach RGSS 3 directly.(it could teach stuff that will not work in rpg maker vs ace.) i ask for help with learning the language and you antagonise me. are you afraid that i will compete with you somewhere. i have no intention of competing with anybody and my systems will only be used in my games, that, i can promise. i using only rpg maker vx ace for scripting. i can not learn from video tutorials. i do not feel but there is many suggestions that can not work for me. what will work for me is posting the type of code i need gradually. please try that method.
If you've decided we aren't helpful, there's another option. Goto your Google search engine. Run a search like "(code type) (operation)." For example, say I want "c++ search files for string."

This is how I discovered how to do my current file_control thing. Just look it up.

author=andreasaspenbergYou have to really want this skill in order to learn it. Also, you are going about acquiring it the wrong way. Learning RGSS3 won't teach you how to make scripts, learning Ruby will.
some words and stuff.
RGSS3 isn't actually an altered version of Ruby, it's a scripting language based on Ruby 1.9. Anything you learn to do in that version of Ruby is going to work in RMVX Ace. RGSS(3) is mainly just a bunch of built-in methods and classes that make building RPGs easier. Knowing these functions won't really help you write scripts, but you do need to know them to write the scripts.
My advice, because nobody here is my 'competitor' is this: Spend 1 month doing the Code Academy ruby class. After getting through the first four courses, start diving into the RGSS reference manual alongside it. You can pick up this skill in one month if you dedicate a couple hours every day to it.
If you can't learn this way, well... Maybe you should consider just sticking to a traditional classroom environment.
Ja ne!!
edit line::
author=karins_soulkeeperPython is good, but I don't really agree about Ruby being a bad first language, other than maybe it will foster some bad habits that might take some time to sort out. There are a million billion ways to do the same thing in Ruby and some of its syntax is pretty lax. I guess that can be bad if you're planning on branching out.
Ruby is a terrible first language imo. I suggest you try out something like C or Python first. Python's easier to learn, and will expedite your diving into ruby (I've proven this myself). C, on the other hand, is the base of Ruby, so most of the things you do in C can be done in Ruby.
It has the benefit of being extremely human readable in terms of a programming language though, that laughably low level of abstraction means that if the OP cannot understand what the code is doing here, there won't be much hope elsewhere.
the code academy ruby class is as i mentioned broken.(at least it does not work properly in the browser i am using which is opera 64 bit. makes sense to use a browser from norway when i am from norway and this is the only browser i found that can write new topics on this forum.)print statements does not work in rgss 3 according to the help file. it is up to me how i want to learn something and people should be supportive of that instead of trying to change me. i am working with an experienced programmer that is trying to learn rgss3 from rpg maker vx ace in order to help me but, with your help i would likely make progress faster. please do not try to change me anymore and try to teach me by posting the code i need gradually.
Magi> It was that apparent lack of a standard syntax (since everything appears to be optional) that really put me off at first. Sure took time to adapt. But yeah, ruby's one of the most readable languages out there.
Andreas> Dude, I'm a freshman enjoying the last week of school. I don't see how you came to assume that I am afraid of competition. I have more pressing matters to worry about than that.
And jeez, if pointing you towards learning material so you can go learn by yourself and not spoonfeed you is already "antagonizing", I can't imagine what would happen if we start acting like jerks.
Don't worry though. I, for one, will stop trying to change you. As it is right now, it's hopeless anyway.

If you can't understand my tutorial series, I can't really help you as I explained it in terms as simple as I could think of. If there's anything specific there you don't get, let me know and I'll see what I can do, but that's all I can offer.
one thing slip into ruby lacks in places is how the code would look in reality. it would really help if you provided what i need while explaining what each line does in detail as i really want to learn rgss3 which is a specific version of ruby.(the help file lists what is unique in rgss3.) i am trying my best to learn from the rpg maker but it would really help me if you taught me. i need it for a lot of stuff. here is a list of the systems i am planning to create: stat customisation, steal command, class system(final fantasy 5 style), quest log(ni no kuni style), limit break system(when character gets knocked out it comes back with special abilities and full hp which quickly depletes and returns to 0).
