Game Maker Project Page
This is a page for the Game Maker Madmen to collaborate.
What Needs To Be Done
- Hartnell's old method of categorizing the docs needs to be redone by function rather than programming function. For example, all keyboard docs (functions and variables) should be linked from a Keyboard Page, not a Game Maker Functions/Keyboard Functions page. Hartnell will do this :).
- Done : gamemaker:main needs to be changed to gamemaker:gamemaker (Hartnell will do this).
- The documentation pages need to be looked through for functions that are undocumented. Please use the other documentation pages as a reference of style.
- NEW : The links in the list of game maker constants needs descriptions.
- Version info in documentation pages needs to be checked and updated.
Needed Pages
- random() for help see : rnd() and rnd() and Why RND Works.
- Step event
- distance_to_point()
- distance_to_object()
- get_string()
- joystick_xpos()
- joystick_ypos()
- keyboard_check_direct()}
- keyboard_check_pressed()
- keyboard_check_released()
- keyboard_key
- ord()
- place_free()
- place_empty()
- place_meeting()
- place_snapped()
- round()
Needed Tutorials
- Jumping Tutorial - could be a part of a platform game tutorial.
- Minimap Tutorial
- Understanding views

I quickly finding out that the first thing that needs to be done is the complete re-organization of the docs that I've been avoiding for so long. I know it may be hard to find a place to contribute while I am doing this, but you seem to be doing fine. Just work on the needed pages I post.
If you're still around for a week or two after the re-organization, I'll assign the project to you.

I'd also like to thank you for your efforts so far. Your willingness to work on the project has partially re-energized it. —hartnell
No problem dude. I need something to do in my spare time. I'm working on constants now, dividing them in to categories.
Wow, I had no idea about all of the event constants! Finished those.
You know, I made a note of them once —- but never used them. :) —hartnell
