A picture speaks a thousand words

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 15:59:33 +0000

Very often when i am surfing around here, or when i've looked at e.g. Transformers, Games.wikidot.com etc. i find myself reading about something, e.g. a game, without any kind of screen-shot. I think images would really be in it's place sometimes, both of screen-shots, but certainly also when explaining some concept. Let's face it, sometimes a picture says a thousand words.

For example on these pages it would be nice to have an image or illustration:

And just info pages like

Any thoughts?

Gamemaker

Hartnell, why are you moving gamemaker to another site? :)

File uploads

Wed, 30 May 2007 17:03:34 +0000

I was thinking, it would be nice if we could attach files to some of the pages. Especially those that require images or other media.

It would also be nice if we could attach files to forum posts so we didn't have to go out and find some file-upload service. It would also be nice to not have to post the entire code of some program :) How long do these file-upload services keep the files btw?

It happened.

I finally got into that "Well, I may as well do something." mood, and created a number of new pages for the explanations of what some of the B4GL commands do. Afterwards, I looked at some of the others, and noticed that mine aren't in the "Description, Example" format like the others, hope that's not too big a deal.

Farksnukering Basic4GL

Sat, 26 May 2007 19:26:40 +0000

Woad's edit to the Basic4GL section made me realize how easy it would be to completely farksnuker B4GL in our new "solution based format". So that's exactly what I'm going to do. And, to make it easier, we have two of the greatest B4GL programmers in existence to ask questions during the process (Link and Matt-gl). Anyone else in?

The Updates Thread

Tue, 22 May 2007 00:48:34 +0000

Read the summary…
I thought this would be a good idea to do because without something like this we can't really track our progress. Just to get everything that's been updated in a list. Post a link to the page changed, and tell us next to it what was done in a short summary and the date it was done.
Starting from yesterday.

I can help out.

I've just joined about 20-30 minutes ago, and I've been playing around with FreeBasic since I've joined and I really like it, it doesn't hurt to know the basics of all programming languages first =D. Do you think I could be a FreeBasic Madman? Help you out with writing some tutorials?

B4GL Video

Wed, 16 May 2007 13:36:19 +0000

I'll watch the B4GL video this weekend. However, is there anyway we can link it to the Basic4GL bullsheet without it getting in the way? —hartnell

General Array Page

Mon, 14 May 2007 08:18:59 +0000

The general array page is getting too big. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

FB for Linux page?

Sun, 13 May 2007 20:11:48 +0000

I was thinking, should we have a FB for Linux page to explain how to get>install>compile>setup scite and things like that, I had to do quite a bit of searching/troubleshooting to get my version to run correctly.

Its just a thought.

Brutus2D Moue Fix

Tue, 01 May 2007 04:24:42 +0000

Mouse fix needs code to compensate for the overly eager event handling in Brutus. I made a small class that did this which is posted on the brutus2d forums under but after some discussion with Guilect it turned out that my class only worked because of what (to him) seemed like a bug in mouse.SetPosXY. He subsequently changed mouse.setposxy so I need to fix my class a little to not use this function. It's a work in progress ;)

I can imagine that the keyboard object might have a similar problem.

Brutus2D Graphics Object

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 19:52:48 +0000

Yup, it's too big. I added the TOC but it seems not to have helped much. Any ideas? Should we just split up the page?

Like Game Design Novice? Want to help out? This thread lists things that we need help with.

Comments and Criticism

It helps us greatly if you simply offer comments and criticism about the contents of the wiki. Here are some things we need you to look at :

Currently the Easy FreeBASIC tutorial series is under development. You can help out much by reading through these tutorials and telling us if there is anything that you don't understand or you think needs clarification.

Editing Pages

There needs to be something about filling arrays with READ and DATA

Creating Pages

These pages need to be created :

The Game Maker Project

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 03:00:50 +0000

I created this thread for Shifty Commander. If you have any questions, ask them here and I'll help you with any problem you have. This is a trial. If you do well, I'll assign you as the head madman over the Game Maker project. —hartnell

PS. The docs are horribly out of date. There's little info about GM 7.0 and what may have changed.

What say you, nonexistent Madmen?

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 19:43:14 +0000

Well, there are no other madmen. Just me. So, nonexistent madmen, lend me your ears! Should the Madmen be disbanded as Black Ops was before it? Has the lack of interest finally broken the Madmen?

Madmen Needed!

Fri, 23 Mar 2007 15:06:51 +0000

Well, I guess it's my fault, but I've decided I can't do it all. I'm only going to be working on a few projects from now on. They are :

Brutus2D
FreeBASIC
BasicCode
Sprite Art
RPG Design (a bit here and there)

And that's it.

We need madmen for everything else.
