Hi all! I'm planning to make some tutorials and game engines on my alt, @Nambase_Test, and I need some suggestions. Tell me what you would like or are struggling with and I'll try my best to create something for you. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll try doing that soon.

cloud encoding/decoding?

I'll try that too! :D

Gonna start with the engines.

A project that explains how RGB/hexadecimal colour encoding works (I know how, but it's a bit hard to explain for me).

I don't know anything about them yet, so we'll wait.

Okay, I did say that it is hard to explain for me, but I'll at least try.
Firstly, I'll explain how the hexadecimal (16-based) system works. It's different from the decimal (10-based) system that we use in everyday life - there are some extra digits* (A, B, C…) to represent 10, 11, 12…, respectively. The largest digit in the 16-based system is F (15), just like 9 is the largest digit in the 10-based system.
In every system, a digit has a value of digit × system^(position from right to left - 1). For example, the 5 in 51 (decimal) has a value of 5 × 10^(2-1) = 5 × 10^1 = 5 × 10 = 50. Similarly, in the 16-based system, the B (11) in B8 has a value of B × 16^(2-1) = B × 16^1 = B × 16 = 176. When we calculate** the value of the others digits in the numbers, we'll get 51 (obviously) and 184, respectively.
*Yes, I know that they are actually letters, but let's call them digits, because they are a part of a number.

Okay, now let's get to colours.
Before I'll explain how they work, let me warn you that they do not mix like paint (for example, blue and yellow makes white, not green).
Okay, if they don't mix like paint, how do they mix? Like light:

red + green = yellow
green + blue = cyan
blue + red = magenta
red + green + blue = white
nothing = black
So how does it all have to do with hexadecimal number notation? Like this: #XXXXXX (each “X” is a digit).

• The higher is the value of a pair of digits, the more “intense” the color is. For example, this is #880000, and this is #CC0000.
  
• The higher is the average value of all colours, the lighter the resulting colour is. For example, this is #43AA23, and this is #87AA58.
  
• The less is the difference between the values, the more gray the resulting colour is. For example, this is #3421AA, and this is #675687.
  

So… that's everything. If you don't understand something, I'll explain it differently.

Hmmm, I was thinking I could make a tutorial for a working camera that senses the colour its touching and stamps that colour!

That could be interesting to make!

Bump from me as well. Need some ideas also.

you're not allowed to do two bumps in one day, there was already one today
