Hi

I have no script skills / knowledge what so ever  , but there are things I would like to do and could anybody point me in the direction of where I
could learn  

Don't forget it has to be for dumbo's

this is a good idea.......so, I'll piggyback on your request.....incognito, of course. 
I am a "dumbo" also, but this way I won't have to admit it.......and no one would have ever guessed by my questions and confusion.

best regards,

Earl

The first thing you need to do is define a goal. No one will write a comprehensive tutorial about everything

When I wrote my first javascript for PI I simply took one of the examples and modified it for my evil purposes.

Where do you get started ?

Hi

I have been looking at other people code , but if you have no idea of the syntax or grammar its a bit like Chinese to me

Harry,

If you google "java tutorial" you will get pages and pages of sites that give tutorials....snippets of code...and tons of how to's.

Hi Harry,
1) you have to understand logic of simplest operator: for(;;){}, while(){}, do{}while() and of course if(){}else{}, ect.
2) Just try to write something to output log via console.writeln("result: ", x, y).
3) Edit one of script and see what's happen. For example try to DrowSignature.js ( try change x,y position of signature at your image or something else ).

I hope it's help.

Will look at that , Its only japanese now  ;D

OK. Step by step.
if(){}else{} - what is it?
Translated from japanese it is:
if ( black is black) do { that } else do { that }

Z80 - it's my love.
My first ZXSpectrum was soldered by me personally. Unfortunately 70% of the chips were originally dead. But I have had experience with the oscilloscope. The keyboard has been collected from 2 calculators and had no inscriptions. This did not prevent me to learn ZXSpectrum BASIC, assembler and then in the end I knew by heart all the machine code Z80, including the undocumented. I knew absolutely everything that happened in the Z80. What were the days are cool! Now I understand what is happening within 0.0% of those wise boxes. So I picked up PxiInsight JS. It's fun.

I still have my ZX 81 with 1k of memory and my 48k spectrum and all the software ,modems ,tape  drives

Keep it for another 100 years and it will be worth something

but back to ps JS and get a bit upto date

.

Note that JavaScript and Java are quite different things. Stick to the JavaScript tutorials....

I'll repeat my earlier advise: figure out what you want to achieve first, preferably something reasonable

Generally if you're not a programmer I think PI is not the place to start. Nothing is impossible with enough effort so don't let me stop you but let's be realistic here. PSJR and PCL aren't really easy stepping stones.

Hi Sander

See I believed other people who said I must be a genius as I can work in pixinsight 8) and of course this has turned out not to be true 

Oh well , I will grinding away at it till the old brain accepts what I am trying to jam in it
