Talk:Tools:Content
From GPWiki
The wiki is now hosted by GameDev.NET at wiki.gamedev.net. All gpwiki.org content has been moved to the new server. However, the GPWiki forums are still active! Come say hello. I think we should try to keep the non-existent links to a minimum. We can create individual pages for these tools as needed, no need to stub them all prematurely. Ryan Clark 20:22, 7 Oct 2004 (EDT) Let's keep it until category page and this one will be merged. --egore911 Ha, I did not know this wiki automatically did categories. Well... this page is somewhat useless now (although it does look prettier than Category:Tools!) --Marijn Good idea. Maybe a category would be (also) nice? --egore911 noticing that Tools:Gimp was not linked from anywhere, I added this. should be integrated in the main page somehow ah, I notice that they are now linked from the TOC. still, a category is useful --Marijn [edit] Could use better formatting...I think that this page would be better formatted as several tables rather than several long lists. Right now it's too hard to pick out the key features of each piece of software (is it free? is it available on my system)? Here's an example entry template that would improve this and how it would look:
{| WIDTH="100%" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center"

[edit] Script ToolsOne kind of software that could be potentially useful for more complex games is a script assistant, one that makes it easier to make film scripts, so that the game designer could make a easy to read and clearly separated script to make the job of the rest of the team easier. |
