Outline

Introduction

I hope you like brainstorming, because I sure do! Our goals are to:

  • Decide on the most important topics to cover. What should we consider as a whole start-to-finish, and everything in between?
  • Open up ideas to not only the main course, but also a side-curriculum of auxiliary effects. (A Main Quest and Side Quest?)
  • Can we split things up properly that will convey a good video that a beginner can follow and learn? Khan Academy up this!

Let's start!

The Most Important Content

Outline of outlines. These are all the specific topics that should be covered, but unsure of the correct interweaving and ordering yet. Multiple topics (aside from the Major Topics) will be paired with each other in some way.

On the Problem of Programming

Specifically related to programming.

Major Topics

  1. Variables and Types
  2. Decision Making
  3. Loops
  4. Arrays and Lists
  5. Methods
  6. Classes and Object-Oriented Programming

Auxiliary, Minor Topics

  1. Enumeration
  2. Trigonometry and Math
  3. LINQ Queries
  4. System.Drawing
  5. Data Structures: Stacks and Queues
  6. Recursion
  7. Data Structures: Trees
  8. File I/O
  9. Data Structures: Graphs
  10. Data Structures: Spatial Data Structures

On the Problem of Storyboarding

Storyboarding problems. While it is a bit generalized, its main focus is on Damnae's effective program, storybrew.

  1. Objects and Layers
  2. Telling Sprites What To Do: Properties of Sprites
  3. Querying Sprite State
  4. Easing
  5. Particles
  6. Lyrics
  7. Sprite Pools
  8. Parsing and Utilizing a Beatmap and its Hitobjects
  9. Spectrums
  10. Keyframes
  11. Resource Management and Optimization

On the Problem of Principles

Because these principles are brownie points in actually being a competent programmer in the future.

  1. Modular Programming
  2. DRY Princple: Don't Repeat Yourself
  3. Big O: Algorithm Analysis and Efficiency
  4. Readability and Clean Code
  5. Planning Ahead

Videos Outline

With the major topics out of the way, it's time to begin drafting some good organization between some of these topics. The more we can hit, the better! Each numerical point should be about a video's worth of content. Please note that this is not the actual outline of the video, but just the main topics covered. In other words, the topics inside each video section are not necessarily in chronological order.

The Main Story

This is the intended curriculum and topics covered for the main videos. Later videos assume a cumulative knowledge of the content, so referencing the past topics are fair game.

  1. Prologue
    • A (Brief) Explanation of Storyboarding
    • A (Brief) History of Storyboarding
    • Tools Available
      • Scripting
      • Design Editor
      • SGL (Deprecated)
      • Storybrew
      • osbpy
      • Your Own Favorite Programming Language Here!
  2. A Novice Adventurer
    • Programming: Variables and Types
    • Storyboarding: Objects and Layers
    • Storyboarding: Telling Sprites What To Do: Properties of Sprites
    • Storyboarding: Querying Sprite State
    • Storyboarding: Easing
  3. A Fledging Adventurer
    • Programming: Decision Making
    • Programming: Loops
    • Programming: Trigonometry and Math
    • Storyboarding: Particles
    • Storyboarding: Sprite Pools
  4. An Early Stage Boss
    • Programming: Arrays and Lists
    • Storyboarding: Parsing and Utilizing a Beatmap and its Hitobjects
  5. The Plot Thickens
    • Programming: Methods
    • Programming: Enumeration
    • Principles: Modular Programming
    • Principles: DRY Principle: Don't Repeat Yourself
    • Principles: Readability and Clean Code
  6. Slaying the Dragon
    • Programming: Classes and Object-Oriented Programming
    • Principles: Planning Ahead

Thus marks the end of the main story.

Side Quests

These videos have appropriate knowledge levels for the viewer. The minimum required topics are thus given, and do not necessarily have a cumulative knowledge like the main line of videos do.

  1. The Karaoke Machine
    • Programming: Methods
    • Storyboarding: Lyrics
  2. The Visualizers
    • Programming: Classes and Object-Oriented Programming
    • Storyboarding: Sprite Pools
    • Storyboarding: Spectrums
    • Storyboarding: Keyframes
    • Storyboarding: Resource Management and Optimization
  3. The Ultimate Armor: Working Efficiently
    • Programming: Methods
    • Storyboarding: Resource Management and Optimization
    • Principles: Modular Programming
    • Principles: DRY Principle: Don't Repeat Yourself
    • Principles: Big O: Algorithm Analysis and Efficiency
    • Principles: Readability and Clean Code
    • Principles: Planning Ahead

Postgame

Even faster than side-quests, these are advanced topics that deserve their own video as quicker topics. The content here is more advanced and assumes full knowledge of the main video content.

  • Programming: LINQ Queries
  • Programming: System.Drawing
  • Programming: Data Structures: Stacks and Queues
  • Programming: Recursion
  • Programming: Data Structures: Trees
  • Programming: File I/o
  • Programming: Data Structures: Graphs
  • Programming: Data Structures: Spatial Data Structures
