Homebrew StonedCoders - A 3DS development tutorial site!

[MRJPGames]

https://stonedcoders.wordpress.com/​

So I made this little site using wordpress, it already has a few tutorial on there right now. I decided to make this as I saw there has been a growing interested in making 3DS homebrews recently, and there isn't much documentation especially for those who aren't as tech savvy. I will be adding more and more tutorials over time! Any suggestions on what to make tutorials about are greatly appreciated, any other feedback is welcome as well!

I love the idea. It's pretty great. And very unrelated, but why haven't you updated your n3ds to 9.2?

So it's drunkencoders for 3ds?

Yes, that's where the name came from!

Never felt the need to update my 3DS...

Dang beat me to it =) I had started a github.io Site for the same thing just never released it LoL. Everything looks pretty good on your site.

Lol, I literally started work on this today... If you have any tutorial of things that aren't on here I am more than happy to put them on the site (of course credits will be given).

Perfect for newbies, great job!

This is an amazing idea, but the banner and title of the site just looks so ugy, gah!

Awesome idea. But I agree with @Osga21. Your banner looks like win98 clip art. I think you need a makeover.

This is great for beginners. Now I know where to start .

Idea is great, wordpress a lot less.
not easy to find tutorials, there's no "roadmap" to learn in order, and if you want to start you need to scroll down to find the beginning and have to read the scrolling page to find tutorial titles. there's no summary. the posted article are not necessarily in teaching order either, so going from oldest to newest is not good.

personally, I prefer websites with menu instead of blogs.

Well it still has the blog page, but I made a page with the tutorials listed, with links to the posts! The order should be more logical now too. So there now statically listed so it's essentially a menu. Thanks for your feedback!

The Logo wasn't too important for me, if you can create a better logo feel free to do so, otherwise I'm not sure when the current one is going to be replaced, but trust me it will at some point! Thanks for your feedback!
EDIT: Put a new logo on the page, still not very great but should look less awful than the first one!
EDIT: EDIT: Just changed core design, removed logo, it's just text now, looks pretty good though IMO.

On the compiling examples page, you should explain to add Python to the $path instead of manually pointing every time. But great tutorial i managed to get a few things compiled. Can't seem to get Aperture 3DS to compile though, it builds but never outputs an elf or anything. I don't know much about makefile though.

There is a typo on the Setting up sf2dlib page you wrote thead instead of thread.

 

[Baoulettes]

I actually really love the idea !
I wasn't sure where to start to make my own app !

So I will follow it carefull as a pretty now in 3DS Dev !
Thank you again !

And on the Hello World example, you said consoleInit comes before printf, while in the code, you have it swapped.

Oops... Fixed, thanks!

Glad to hear it worked, Aperture 3DS is a pretty specific case, so I can't really help you there I'm afraid, though I've seen compiled versions on GBAtemp before so you can download it if you're only planning on running it! The path thing, you are right, I might update that at some point.

More of a "Now I'll try to compile everything and see if I can fix what doesn't work"
But I really don't know too much outside of an IDE holding my hand compiling basic CMD programs.

Anyway, gonna get some sleep now. Really looking forward to your site expanding more! Be nice to get into homebrew developing myself.

I also agree that WordPress isnt a good idea. A static generated website would be enough and better. There was also https://github.com/xem/3DShomebrew .
I like the idea of being able to submit changes to tutorials, for when things are wrong or could be inproved
