Tutorial - Hello World

Web Cartoon Maker requires you to write C++ scripts to create cartoons. Does this scare you? You should not be scared at all. You can create simple but beautiful cartoons without much programming skills. Just follow this simple tutorial.

1. Dowload and install Web Cartoon Maker from here
2. Start Web Cartoon Maker
3. Paste the following script to the editor:

   void Scene1 ()
   {
       Text MyFirstText ( "Hello World" );
       MyFirstText.SetVisible ();
   }
   

4. Click "Compile" button on the toolbar. This is a big button with orange creature called "Kolobok" :-)
5. The WCM Player will start with your movie loaded. Click "Play" button to play it. Click "Export" to convert to AVI format if you want

This is just the very first tutorial topic and we do not want to over-complicate it. We are going to discuss above script example in the next topic about different kinds of objects and how can they be used in movies. Do not be scared by word "object". We were already using a text object in the above example. Was it any difficult?
