Hi Jesus (and all Chuckers out there), I am working on the documentation and I would like to know what I could add to the chuck tutorial that would help you. I would like to help newbies get up and running without having to post to the list. Surely, there are others out there who got to the point of needing to ask a question and moved on to some other language instead. I am not a windows person but here is what I can offer you. ChucK files are simply text files with .ck instead of .txt. Use your favourite text editor (which will no doubt be audicle in the future!) to enter in the text in the tutorial and save it in the current directory that you are running ChucK. Then you can add your files like normal: chuck + test1.ck test2.ck You can do absolute paths as well: chuck + /home/adamtindale/chuckpatches/test1.ck I hope this helps you. Your experience is valuable and we are all here to help each other out. Welcome to our little corner of the world. To everyone else out there: I will try and release the first version of the manual out very soon. (hopefully very soon, school is out!!!) adam --art On Apr 28, 2005, at 3:09 PM, jesus gollonet wrote:
Thanks both. I have it now up and running and have tested with a couple of examples, but i guess that i'll have to brush up on my command-line skills before delving deeper into it. I mean, i can't even follow the tutorial, as i don't know how to create a new file or save an existing one. Do you know of a good resource for this tasks? It doesn't have to be necesarily chuck related, but it would help.
And... Forgive me for dumb questions. I'm a sort of high-level (in terms of abstraction) programmer, and am not used to cope with ms-dos at all. If this is considered off topic i'll ask somewhere else.
Anyway, thanx a lot.
CheeerS!

Hola Jesus, Hi Gary,
To run chuck.exe, it's easiest to run command.com and use it to execute chuck.exe. If you go to the start menu in windows, pick the run command and enter command in the box of the popup window. This will create a DOS window.
With XP you need to do 'CMD' rather than 'Command' :-)
I didn't bother to fiddle with pathing, but rather copied the chuck.exe file into my scripts directories.
I did that too :-)
if you execute chuck through the DOS window, you can run several scripts like this:
chuck script1.ck script2.ck script3.ck
That¹s the bit I like the best!
Paul
