Just curious, what did you all put down for future ideas/projects?

Forum junkie that I am, I asked to give the moderators more power and flexibility in managing or editing posts.

I asked for one of the team members (preferably lee ) would drop by the forum more often to update us.

As far as what I wanted from TGC I marked AI, physics, and Multiplayer.

I asked for a smaller featureset in any future languages but more thorough testing and better documentation.

A good idea Mussi, but I fear that the same people that don't read the help files are the same ones that won't do the beginning tutorials.

Case in point, by 13 year old son didn't want to start with the manual. After walking through several pages of the L-Type demo source code with him, he had a change of heart and started at page one. If I wasn't there to help him walk through it, it would have left him more confused than anything.

I asked for more tutorials and better help files.
I then suggested that a section of the newsletter could feature help on a particular set of commands and/or help in a particular area of gamemaking.

@zircher

You can't really force people to read help files. They are a good way of learning, however I know that many people prefer to take sample programs and edit them and see what happens. However that is a fairly inefficient way of doing it.

To my mind, there tend to be common questions/issues which always come up with certain game types, and I think a tutorial for each of these would be good. Examples that come to mind:
- For FPS Games: Basic AI, bullet hit detection, wall-collision detection, creating worlds
- For racing games: Getting the player's position, enemy AI, creating tracks

etc.
