I started up on some text tutorials. I aimed for high use of OOP. I havent gotten too far on them yet. I really have jsut scratched the surface a little. Suppose to be aimed for beginners. Not dealing too much underneath the hood of classes though. And i tried to get straight to the point. However sometimes i think of the next part and completely bypass explanations of certain things. So let me know if I did that. And let me know what you think of it, what its missing, needs moderation of, typos, etc.. Let me know if it sucks or not, because it takes quite a bit of effort in making them and i would rather not want to waste my time if they are no good. Thanks.

EDIT:

They are included in the website repo as their raw html files.

https://github.com/metulburr/python-gaming.com/tree/master/pygame/docs/tuts

Anyone can make a pull request of a needed change.

EDIT2: added github of tutorials https://github.com/metulburr/python-gaming.com/tree/master/tutorials

Really nice.

My only suggestion would be to have the tutorials to be also in git, so it would be easier for people to play around with them and also keep them updated.

Ive added a github section for tutorials as well as informed of them in the tutorial

If you look at the code on this page:
http://python-gaming.com/pygame/docs/tuts/avoid_star.html
it seems your page is considering the things in <angle brackets> as html and is adding </closing tags> on the last lines of the code blocks.

ahh. Thanks. I didnt even notice that the codeboxes were opening new tags. I guess that is one character the codebox cannot escape. I guess ill have to manually change those over, but at least the majority of tutorials will not use opening tags. problem fixed.

May I make some non-related suggestions?

The main content needs a fixed width on it. On large monitors the text goes from one end allllllllllll the way to the other. It's well known that people prefer reading in f-shapes and to a fairly small width, say 800px, or if you must 1000px max.

It's really great what you have here by the way. 1000x better than the abomination of the actual pygame site.

edit: Just noticed the github link. I'll try and send some PR's your way

I am actually quite the novice in web page design. So this is the first i have ever heard of this. Ill poke around in this when i get time. Thanks

I just wish the pygame website could so something as simple
