Hello,
I've worked long, and hard, to bring you this new WIKI feature.
http://orx-project.org/wiki/en/orx/reference/main
Please note that this is never supposed to be a replacement for the Documentation (
http://orx-project.org/orx/doc/html/). Rather, it's supposed to be an addition. If you need an example for a specific feature, this'll help you find it. (For example, how do I create a sound effect, and which INI config commands can I use?)
Have fun, and help me improve it

Are you envisioning this as a place for example code? Small code snippets demonstrating the use of modules and functions?
It shouldn't explain each single function, that's what the doxygen documentation is for, but it should give a person a good idea what to do when they want to do a specific thing.

Things like that shouldn't be hidden
I think in your reference section code snippets for some of the lesser used functions might be helpful.
For example, the use of orxOBox_2DIsInside is obvious to us that are familiar with the use of Orx, but may not be so obvious to beginners. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to write a full tutorial about it. So maybe a code snippet illustrating an example would be helpful.
That's just one example. And just something for us to think about.
Another thing I would do is replace any -todo- sections with something a little more polished. Just my opinion--something marked "todo" looks like it's not finished and not ready for the public.
I like what you have done here.. it makes it very easy to find the relevant tutorials for each module.
Agreed. Perhaps a new subpage called Code Snippets within each category; I'm afraid otherwise the pages may get too large or too cluttered - I'd like to keep the base alignment clean.
I've been working on changing the todos with relevant tutorials, but I'm bound to have forgotten a page or two. I'll give it another look in a minute.
EDIT: Ok, more like 6 pages or so. I'm changing them to n/a for the minute.
Thanks

While I have a good idea what that specific function is supposed to do, I haven't used it yet, so feel free to implement that part with some code you've used :P
However is there a reason for the current capitalization of the "modules" (ie. OrxObject)? It doesnt match the module name (ie. orxObject) nor the associated structures (ie. orxOBJECT).
