hi oleg, how do I contact him? I have tried clicking his name but did not find any link to send a pm.

I am excited!

SinisterSoft · March 22

@MoKaLux Yes, once you are ready, let me know and I should be able to let you have access to editing the Wiki.

It's a work in progress, I'm not sure when the links should be switched over - What do people thin? Should we switch them out now?

Apollo14 · March 22

I see "pm" link when I view profiles (though it's small):

MoKaLux · March 22

oh my bad, now I see it, I thought I was logged in but I wasn't (using ie11!). I have sent him a message through the forum in the meantime. Peace!

SinisterSoft · March 23

I've sent you a message @MoKaLux , just reply and I can sort it out for you.

MoKaLux · May 24

hello there,

What does this mean in the wiki?

For example on this link:
https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Installing_Gideros_Studio

I don't see any errors in this wiki!

There are also 4 more links in this category.

I tried to clean things up a bit but this annoying category remains.

SinisterSoft · May 25

I've no idea. Strange.

oleg · May 25

Exceeding the limit of the number of characters between the tags "translate"

MoKaLux · May 25

@oleg thank you. I am going to have a look at those.

MoKaLux · May 25

ok found it. According to wikimedia:

"The most common error that leads to pages being tagged with this category is a or tag with no lang attribute at all"

That was the case. I am going to change those by "code" instead.

MoKaLux · May 31

hello there,

isn't this wiki page meant to be application instead of Application?

https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Application

All over the place?

I wanted to ask before modifying. Thanks.

yes, it has to be 'application', cause word 'Application' in our code will cause error

MoKaLux · May 31

@Apollo14 thanks, I will change those asap (it is bed time for me

)

hgy29 · May 31

Actually the class name is really Application, but the instance name is application.

MoKaLux · May 31

hello @hgy29 , what I plan to do:

Leave the title and desciption with Application.

Change all methods to application.

Leave constants as Application.

Are you ok with that?

MoKaLux · June 12

hello there,

I have some doubts about this page:
https://wiki.giderosmobile.com/index.php/Application:openUrl

I reformated some html tags but I am not sure about this code:

application:openUrl("mailto:user@foo.com?subject=Test&body=Just a test")

Is this correct?

oleg · June 13

@MoKaLux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailto

MoKaLux · June 13

WIKIPEDIA:

It is also possible to specify initial values for headers (e.g. subject, cc, etc.) and message body in the URL. Blanks, carriage returns, and linefeeds cannot be embedded but must be percent-encoded.

href="mailto:someone@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=someone_else@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body">Send email

So this gideros code should be:

application:openUrl("mailto:user@foo.com?subject=Test&body=Just%20a%20test")

In that case, I will specify this in the wiki.

Thank you @oleg

oleg · June 13

@MoKaLux you can simply set space instead of % 20

just a HTML converts symbols:
& = & amp;
space =% 20

MoKaLux · June 13

ok so the gideros wiki example is correct.

I leave it as it is:

application:openUrl("mailto:user@foo.com?subject=Test&body=Just a test")

MoKaLux · July 7

hello gideros people,

Can I add a new page on the wiki where I would gather all code snippet found here on this wonderful forum?

Then anybody (who has wiki permission) could add sample code to do various thing (draw button, add ads, …). This page would consist of code that could be directly copy paste.

My other question: would you mind me using some great code found here on the gideros forum? (I am thinking of @hgy29 csv code for example but there are many other from @oleg , @SinisterSoft , @Apollo14 , and all other great gideros coders that I am missing).

And the last question: what would I call this page? I am thinking of "gideros sample code" or "gideros forum snippet" or ??? .

That would be the same kind as:

Links[edit]

Video Tutorials
Article Tutorials

I think this one is pretty good but hidden, this should be more visible for new comers.

Thank you!

antix · July 7

@MoKaLux good luck.. that's a big job

There is a whole lot of good code that gets pasted into the forums here. some of the things I've contributed to would be..

A lengthy discussion on collision detection. Some of the code is a little buggy but it's mostly solid.

A small chat about user interfaces..

Another wee talk about grid based collision.

Some code for making isometric game objects render in the correct order.

as I said.. there are son many nice bits of code here on the forums.. you just have to really dig to find them

MoKaLux · July 8

@antix yes it is a big job and you were in the great coders that I forgot to mention in my previous post.

I just wanted to ask before hurting anyone's feelings.

Is that a yes from you?

antix · July 8

@MoKaLux Yes

MoKaLux · July 9

Hello there gideros coders,

I am happy to say that the new wiki homepage is clear.

By that I mean all the links are valid, the "complete guide to gideros studio" is complete (as per the original publication).

I did a bit of cleaning: typo and formatting mainly.

@SinisterSoft and all the others I forget, thank you for all your hard work.

LONG LIVE GIDEROS STUDIO.

Peace.

PS: I only touched the English part.

SinisterSoft · July 10

@MoKaLux Thanks for doing this, it's very much appreciated.

SinisterSoft · July 10

I've moved The ultimate Guide and the Links to the last column as then all the technical/Getting started stuff is then in the first two columns are generally progressively more detailed, the last column now being kinda different than the first two.

SinisterSoft · July 10

@MoKaLux I just added some docs about a trick I use to the forum, might be a good start for your code snippets section on the wiki?

http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/7679/show-a-sprite-being-hit-like-in-the-arcades?new=1

MoKaLux · July 10

@SinisterSoft perfect!

Now that you've modified the gideros wiki home page I don't know where to put the new section

How shall I name the new section?

I am thinking of "gideros sample code" or "gideros forum snippet" or "gideros forum gems snippet" or ??? .

What do you think?

SinisterSoft · July 10

'Code Snippets' ?

Howdy, Stranger!
