Hi,

I'd like to contribute documenting Factor. I come from a procedural
programming style, that should be a plus !

One efficient way to go at it would be to update documentation with
information pointed to by questions or misundertandings from people learning
Factor or a specific library.


One of my stumbling blocks is the lack of examples. I may not learn the
langage in the most logical order, however it does fit my natural curiosity.
Examples and additional notes could be submitted as first timers stumble
upon it.

Would it be possible to setup some way  to  contribute / complement
documentation ?

Just to give an example :

I wanted to get a feel on raytrace : "gpu.demos.raytrace"

This is the info I'd like to add

1) dependency OpenAL32.dll
2) proper way to load C library

I copied DLL to factor directory

"OpenAL32.dll" "." cdecl add-library
"OpenAL32.dll" load-library

--- Data stack:
DLL" ."

compiler error :

ERROR: raytrace.f.glsl:44: 'sphere_intersect' : no matching overloaded
function found
ERROR: 1 compilation errors.  No code generated.

It would be love help patch up those tiny details, put end to end, slow down
learning.

Thanks,

Arb
