Put a crap load of Vector math in there.
It's super useful.
Maybe a very simple introduction to trig. In the game I'm making I've used vector math and trig to write my own physics system for greater accuracy, positioned things along the outside of a circle based on their rotational value from 0-3 and their distance from the center in one line of code, created a laser, and got a player indicator working. Just a simple "math.cos(angle)*radius gives you the x coordinate, math.sin(angle)*radius gives you the y coordinate (or z, which is probably what you're looking for in 3D), put y,x into math.rad(math.atan2(y,x)) to get angles" should do.
You should also cover reaaaaly basic concepts using simple terms, like variables and execution order.
And the number one thing you absolutely have to cover in this, is how to use the wiki, because for beginners it really isn't clear.


It's delightful, It's delicious, It's delovely!
