Vortex Scripting Documenation

[donno]

About a day after the release of 2.0, i started looking at Vortex and writing some documentation which I hope to be a valuable resource for those wishing to contribute to XBMC by making a stunning preset or transition. This document is in the very early stages, it doesn't really cover how to actually do it more of what is available.

If you interrested in the helping you can email me samples/tutorials/material.
Contact me if you would like the Word Document source and are interrested, I will have limited time to work on this so if your interrested in taking on documenting Vortex give a shout.

My plan is once a list of all the functions/variables/data types are documented then start explaining the functions on what they do and compile some samples for them and include some samples on how to create a Cube for example, and use tunnels and maybe some handy math functions. All thoughts appreciated.

Attached is Revision 0.25 of the Vortex Scripting Documentation. Im hoping at one point to include it on the wiki so every one can contribute but at the same time have a pdf/doc version for people to keep and read offline.

Great! Suggest you (or someone else) create a new article in online WIKI manual called "Vortex Visualization" soon, and under it a subsection called "Vortex Presets Script Development"), other subsections can also be created, which can then always be edited to be up-to-date.

I just added these articles to the wiki. at the moment there is not much more than the functions-list and some general hints about the graphics pipeline. But if i have more time i will add some tutorial to the article (if someone else wants to write something.... FEEL FREE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!)
