Pages Wanted

From GDWiki

This page serves as a master list of all wanted pages. These are the wanted articles, articles that do not (yet) exist.

If there's a specific tutorial you'd like to see on the wiki but which doesn't exist yet, add your item to the list below! But please add the date and your signature beside your request.

If you don't find an existing article, start writing it! Even a stub would be useful. It would be very helpful to other editors if you cite your sources, even if you don't have time to format them properly. This makes it easier for others to verify and expand on your work. And don't be afraid to ask.

In addition to this list, you might also consider creating missing pages that are linked to but don't exist, or adding useful information to stub articles.

notes

? : ajax framework seems to be incredible piece for gui
As I browse the growing collection of Game Programming books at the local books store I fail to find any that deal with the broader concept of game design unassociated with a specific medium. I see plenty aimed at 3D engines, 3D studios, Flash MX games, ... anything with a graphical engine. --Primetime 11:04, 12 January 2006 (EST)
