Hello!
You may have seen the new tutorial section, and it looks like we already have a bunch of new tutorials. What we need is more tutorials, so I have created a list of tutorials below for anyone to take on. Just respond to this post with the tutorial you would like to create and get started. If you have any suggestions for other tutorials I can add them to the list as well. Upon completing the tutorial, you will be rewarded with the ez-credit value listed with each tutorial!
Some of these tutorials will be very simple, but keep in mind, it will be helpful for lots of new users.
EDIT: When you are done making the tutorials please make a post on this thread letting me know you are done. That way it will be a bit easier on me to keep things organized. Thanks!

No worries James.
I had a thought a while back about doing a Pandorabot control tutorial if you think it would help, as there isn't much documentation on it explaining how to set up a bot, setting up a bot to be used with ARC, or dirfferent examples of using script or Cheat Sheet commands with AIML files in different ways. I could make a tutorial with some video demos and pictures as well as a step by step write up. I think it might be useful for some members.
What do you think?
That would be awesome! I'll add it to the list.
I second James' vote. I would love to see a Pandorabot tutorial.
@WBS.
No worries. I'll make a start on it hopefully this weekend.
@James.
If there is no other takers, I can write up a ADC tutorial too. I have a coiplenif simple examples I can use and turn in to a tutorial.
@Steve... jeez dude if you are that hard up for store credits I can give you some of mine... Ez Robot is graciously offering store credits for tutorials try not to milk it will ya'.... You can do my tutorials if you are are really that hard up....
Alright, ADC tutorial for Steve G! You're gonna be rollin in the ez-credit
@Richard.
How did I know I was going to hear from you. I'm not trying to "Milk" anything, and no, I'm not hard up for anything. There is an offer to help the community and I have some time in my hands and would like to help. I think that I have explained my self before in regards to answering questions whether there is store credit on offer or not, and I'm getting a bit sick and tired of explaining myself or being hit with sarcastic comments from the likes of you. I do it to help like others have helped me, and to learn as well.
There is a list of tutorials that EZ Robot would like to have, so knowing that, and being that there are subjects I now have a good knowledge of, and I would do these whether there was credit on offer or not (did I you get that, because I'm not saying it again). I thought you would know that by now. I've been a forum member for long enough now and posted enough comments for you to hopefully realise that. I like to think of myself as a generioous and helpful person, and I visit the forum to enteract and enjoy it. I have posted information and answers here and in personal emails in order to help people, and I neither asked or expected anything in return.
I've bit my tongue long enough now so I've got to say this. I don't know what I have done to upset you or tick you off, but for months now you either don't respond to questions or comments I have put to you, and when you do, you mostly seem to be sarcastic or "der, didn't you know that?" kind of comments, and not just to me, but some other members too. Before you used to talk to me respectfully then for whatever reason that stopped. Whatever it has I done to upset you, then I apologise (although for the life of me I don't know why I should as I don't know what I have done). Whatever it was, for goodness sakes, speak up and tell me.
So I think I have made myself clear and I hope you get where I'm coming from now. This was a nice friendly thread asking for help and you have turned it sour with your "Gees"comment. Do you know what, I like you dude. I think you seem to be a decent guy (or at least I did), so why the sarcastic and negative towards me, and others too? I've got enough crap going on in my life without having to put up with it here too. That way I come here, to take my mind off of things.
BTW, on the ADC tutorial post... if you bother to read it again, I did say "if there are no other takers".
EDIT:
Also, I asked about the new tutorial section here and here a while ago (weeks before ANY credit was on offer) as I had some tutorials already partially written up for this section, which is something not easy for me to do as it takes me 5 or 6 times longer to write than the average person who hasn't have to put up with reading or writing difficulties all their life, but I was more than happy to do anyway.
@James.
Sorry James. Something had to be said. Anyway, thank you. I'm happy to help.
Wow great initiative everyone. Thanks for kick starting this idea, James. I'm super stoked!
