Game Editor wiki!

[asmodeus]

What I know is nothing more as it is written in the wiki already.

Is that true to you?

[edh]

what does that mean?

You know I was wondering why we would recreate all the fine documentation on C functions and keywords.

The article isn't marked as spam anymore
Can you write something about the source code availability?
Can you replace the logo with this file?

Another recent happy event, is that Game Editor also has a Wikipedia entry too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Editor Right now it is almost complete, lacking only more inner links, and sceenshots, icons.

[Thanx]

lol I took a try at taking off that marking... And my account still exists!!! Yay!
The real logo is up there now....
I'll be adding something about the source-code availability too now...

EDIT: Got that done too. Is that okay that way?

Thanks

Should I improve the wiki? I ask as I don't want to waste my time and it seems that it has been abandoned. I don't mind helping but if it is not wanted, I won't bother.

Should I improve the wiki?

Sure!

[Bee-Ant]

can someone tell me exactly WHAT a wiki is?

Info-Source I think...
Included History, etc etc...

Is the wiki still active? I noticed that no one had used categories. I've found out how to use categories and I've already categorized some pages. Maybe you should take a look here and categorize some more pages.

I haven't had time to work on the wiki do to school and college apps, but now I have plenty of time and will continue my work on the wiki. What do categories do, is used when searching or a special page shows you all categories, and you search from there? I guess I'll figure it out soon enough.

i would like there to be at step by step game making section also. I mention this before but got shot down. When i 1st purchased GE i learned and was motivated when i could write a complete game.If you you show bits and pieces , people who cant put it together will give up and not buy GE. I had this debate with skydereign but he said this really doesnt matter. I honestly believe if people can follow a step by step tutorial and when they finish they have made a complete game they would be motivated to buy GE. Thats my feeling anyone care to tell thier opinions on this subject.

note: i will add to my 1st tutorial later than i will add making pac-man tutorial .

A correction to krenisis' post. I am not against step by step tutorials, as they are very helpful. I don't know where he got the idea that I was against them. The gE book that is being written is pretty much a giant step by step tutorial teaching gameEditor. As long as the tutorials are good and help teach gameEditor, instead of simply listing what to do, than I am all for it. I have seen many of these tutorials that don't explain anything, which you can still learn from, but not nearly as much.

The step by step tutorials which i found maybe 5 or 6 even though I know there is more here that i havent found , lets people complete at least a 1st level demo or so of a game. The 1st tutorial that i did was trajectory labs which wasnt complete but let me do close to finished product. That kept me going i also did ari feldmans space invaders which i added score to it on my version. See being able to make a playable games is sometimes a bigger motivator than just describing bit by bit. Dont get me wrong i been going back and forth to the wiki now and you noticed that i havent been asking many questions because the wiki is very polished. The wiki does help alot but i feel there should be a forum section for step by step tutorials. That way newbies will be able to make short games and will buy GE rather than give up. I just want to boost the sales of GE to the point that makslane doesnt have to work a fulltime job and he can go back GE fulltime. I hope makslane considers the idea of a step by step tutorial section in the future.
