Wiki Revisions continued.

I don’t remember if you said whether or not you input my public key. Please remind/tell me if or when you did. Until then, I’ll keep scanning over the wiki.

Tutorials
• It probably is a little late to suggest or do this, but more tutorials would probably be useful. Potentially other tutorials featuring the different aspects of the JIG environment. For example, a tutorial to show how to add sound or make a scrolling screen game. Perhaps even to help people further understand how things are organized in JIG or how sprites are loaded.

Documentation
• Added a note to sprite sheets to warn users to beware of capitalization of file extensions can cause the sprite sheet to not load.
• Not certain if the Programmer Generated Graphics example works.
• Will need to test code on page later to make sure it works.
• Under Convex Polygons, it notes that people should do the SAT project. However I do not believe that is loaded onto the site or there is a link to it. I will probably need to do that later once I get my SVN working.

Sprite Repository
• Repository hasn’t been updated.
• Should consider uploading sprites from past projects if they are available.
• Sprite sheet details seem to lack information about smaller lasers in the Space Weapon Shot sprite sheet section. XML sheet does not reflect separate smaller lasers in the sprite sheet.
• All other sprite sheet details, images, and XML files seem to be correct and download correctly.

More Edits to the Wiki

Main Page
•Removed old news feeds

FAQ
•The data appears to be old. It might be outdated since the jig engine has been modified to not hog the processor
•Other recommendations might be useful (or just the complete removal from the page). Some suggestions I have include:
oHow do I remove objects from my Viewable Layers?
oHow do I use the Catto Physics Engine?
oMay I use the JIG Engine for personal projects?
•Corrected an existing spelling error on the page

Space Frenzy Tutorial
•Corrected spelling on several of the pages
