new project: module coding for beginners

Post by paddy| »

Hello,

wondering whether I didnt search intensive enough or whether there really are no "projects" who explain how to code modules for beginners.
I always disliked it, getting the answer "read the code of the existing modules and learn to understand them" cause there could be some information in pre-stage, before trying to read code from other people.

Would someone be interested to help me with such a "HOWTO" ?

There arent many howtos to be honest.

Woobie is a good start. Sheep even better so - they are basically templates that you can then adapt ... there are a couple of caveats that I learnt by sheer brute force. Basically I learnt from those two, a couple of other peoples modules and the eggdrop code itself. Unfortunately I know of no better way.

However, I have been doing this for some time now, so if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask...
