Step by Step, a newbie's plea.

Greetings,

I'm a bit overwhelmed by writting AddOns, but I'm determined to learn. I've read tutorial after tutorial and though they make since, they don't seem to help. So I'm wondering if you (the gurus) could give me step by step instructions for writting a simple AddOn with comments as to why/how you did things.

The AddOn I'd like to create is a MiniMap AddOn that does a few things:
  1. Make the MiniMap frame moveable, hideable (I know it's in the game already), and scalable.
  2. Change the artwork for it, along with options for pre-determined "schemes".
  3. Change the shape (Circle, Box, Diamond, and maybe Octogon).
  4. Change the shape, size, and alpha of the buttons around the MiniMap.

I know the very basics, like creating a TOC file and what goes in it, but I have no idea how to structure the XML file(s). Also, I'm a big confused on how the LUA code correlates to the XML script tags.

Thanx in advance,
Rapture
