It appears all the example documentation is for the old version of JOAL and not the January release???
Well, I was going to the old site. I see now that the current site https://joal.dev.java.net/ has downloadable demos that are updated. I think it would be a very good thing to have updated “tutorials” like the ones that were done before (only hopefully going more advanced).
Which old site are you referring to? The web pages for the devmaster tutorials on http://joal-demos.dev.java.net/ have not yet been updated, but the source code in the joal-demos tree has been. I also just fixed the documentation link on the joal-demos page to point to the current docs – thanks for pointing this out.
Ken, I’m not 100% sure about “which old site” I was at… I actually think it was the current site now but the tutorials at https://joal-demos.dev.java.net/ are the ones that really confused me.
I’d like to volunteer to help generate some documentation to make JOAL more accessible to “newbies”. Unfortunately I feel like I’m learning via trial and error myself. If you are willing to tolerate and answer numerous questions I’ll draft up new documentation and rewrite some tutorials.
If you would help update the devmaster tutorials to the current JOAL APIs that would be a really helpful first step. I am personally not an OpenAL expert but am glad to try to answer any questions.
Ok, I requested “content developer” role. So I assume once that is assigned I’ll be able to edit those webpages and fix up those lessons.
Let me know if you don’t hear back on the Content Developer request. I’m not a project owner of joal (yet) so can’t approve your request.
I’ve written “Lesson 0” (Introduction) and “Lesson 1” and posted them on my website:
http://www.starfireresearch.com/services/java/docs/joal.html
They are just first drafts but a start. I’m still waiting on approval as a “content developer”.
I think the project owner is on vacation this week but should be back next week.
