Just to let you all know that the GLBasic Wiki is available at : http://wiki.just-do-i-t.com/index.php?title=GLBasic_Wiki*
I've added editor details to it (describing each and every menu option, IDE area and so forth). There are a few areas that need more detail and a few screenshots too, mainly the IDE Options bit could do with a bit of detail for each colour line.

I want to ask. (a question)
You have killed so much time on it. (tutorials)
Someone said thank you.
Why do not you throw all their energy and time to create their game "Spot" or ..... ?
I'm waiting for GPC.EXE to be fixed first, as it's being a problem at the moment.... :rant: Once that is fixed, I can then continue with my game :)
Nice work! Dind´t knew that there is a wiki. Whos is it?
Does Astirid has a forum nickname?
I cant remember now...
I've started added GLBasic commands now, using text from my website
Lets hope that he renews the domain before April next year :)

We're... using a resource provided by a forum member who has never posted? :help:
Is there any way to get the Wikmi on a more formal footing before too long? I plan to continue adding to the Wiki - mostly transferring and updating the tutorials at present - but I'd like to think my efforts will last longer than that!
No offense to the community member providing the resource - she's most generous to have done so :D

Some of the other notes can be inserted into the official help web pages at a later date. The tutorials can also be updated as well.
All commands have now been added.
And good news - the domain will be renewed next year :)
Most excellent. My efforts will tend to be sporadic - especailyl as I'm back to battling 3D in GLBasic for myself :)
Hmmm - on the commands...would it be possible to increase the amount of detail in the command definitions? For example - X MAKE3D is currently defined thus:
QuoteSwitch to 3D mode
Syntax :
X_MAKE3D near, far, fov
Result :
Switches to 3D mode.
near and far defined the distance that objects will be displayed.
fov defines the field of view angle. If this is negative, then an orthogonal view will be created, in which case fov will define a scaling value.
Now fortunately the example given contains the information that I wanted, but what I'd really like/understand better would be if the syntax given also included the type of variable/poarameter required. In this isntance something like:
X_MAKE3D near#, far#, fov#
so that I know that the X_MAKE3D command wants floats (and that other comamnds expect floats, or integers, or strings - as appropriate).
I'm not sure how much sense I'm making, just throwing this out there :)
# are optional - with or without them, the variable is a float - and I want to type as few characters as possible P)
Ah! so if there's integer or string parameters (I haven't looked) they'll be indicated? Kewl - apologies for not thinking of that :)
Most of the time they are - no doubt there are a few instances where integers for parameters should be used instead of floats, but I'm sure people will be able to fix those...
Strings are always 100% indicated :)
